Embedding financial literacy into the heart of cities

The IMC Financial Freedom Project provides K-12 students with interactive learning experiences on critical financial concepts tied to state standards. In addition to the students, the IMC Financial Freedom Project provides financial education and resources to families, faculty, and staff as a way to holistically wrap around the school community. 

The IMC Financial Freedom Project is the first of its kind to offer grade level, culturally relevant financial education along with practical tools.

The IMC Financial Freedom Project team has proactively established a financial literacy program, meticulously crafted to address all stipulations of the recently enacted law that mandates personal financial literacy and money management course completion for public high school students prior to graduation. Furthermore, we have aligned our concepts and curriculum to address the Numeracy act for K-5 students and math standards for middle school participants.

Most initiatives focus on the students and unintentionally overlook the faculty/staff and parents/caretakers.

“We can only give students the foundation they need for future financial success if educators and staff feel more secure in their own financial beliefs, knowledge, habits and goals. And we must be equally vigilant about providing the adults in their households with the same level of support.”

“The time is now to ensure that our youth are the most financially prepared and successful generation our country has produced. We have both a professional and moral responsibility to ensure the academic and financial success of our students. Their participation in our local, national and global economy is critical to the future of our community and our country, and it is our responsibility to cement their financial foundation as a cornerstone of their financial well-being.”
