BAFEF’s Empowering Women Financial Literacy Conference

April 20, 2023 at the Federal Reserve Bank of SF

In today’s world, navigating the sea of financial decisions is more complicated than ever.
Young people need to understand the basic principles of personal finance before they enter adulthood.

A roadmap for success.

From understanding credit scores to budgeting for college; from the economic way of thinking and the value of human capital to saving for retirement and building a safety net - our programs provide critical, relevant and engaging content that gives Bay Area students the knowledge they need for financial stability.

Many States have already implemented mandatory personal finance instruction in high school, but California still has no requirement – and is rated one of the lowest of all States when it comes to financial education.

Our programs address this gap in our education system.

We provide critical resources and support for Bay Area teachers and students, giving them the tools they need to make informed decisions about their finances.
