Your role in our future It was an honor to introduce our new name and logo recently to a special crowd of supporters, community leaders and successful teens (like Sasha , a Money Coach alum and JMAC grad). Click here to check out the ambitious plan for teen empowerment behind our change from Make A Difference-Wisconsin to SecureFutures. It is because of overwhelming support from people like you that we're ready to take this movement to the next level. On behalf of the 62,000 teens who you have empowered -- thank you!

Survey: U.S. teens go to the Internet as financial fundamentals lag U.S. teens want to learn about managing money before they graduate high school. And the Internet is often the place teens are turning to to learn about banks, budgets and saving. That's according to a survey we commissioned of 500 teens.

Milwaukee partners for Money Sense One of our summer Money Sense programs was part of a wider city initiative to prepare teens for their future.

Supporter spotlight: CFA Society Milwaukee CFA Society Milwaukee made another huge drive as financial education advocates this summer. The professional group chose our teens and programs as the recipient of their annual golf fundraiser at The Legend at Bristlecone. All told, CFA golfers raised thousands of dollars in a fun afternoon of games on the green. Thank you to Erik Gauger and CFA Society Milwaukee for supporting our mission and students!
