Join Us in Shaping the Future of the Youth!
The MLK Parade and Festivities, in collaboration with the Money Movez Youth Program, is exploring the opportunity to bring a transformative program to our community. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s mission to empower young leaders, this initiative is designed to help students overcome obstacles and thrive in their personal and financial lives.
By promoting financial literacy, we aim to address wealth disparities while equipping youth with practical tools and strategies for a brighter and more equitable future. Through engaging and gamified activities, this program will focus on developing essential skills in business, budgeting, and investing.
We’re gauging community interest in offering this program as part of a summer and after-school initiative. If you believe this program would benefit our youth, please share your feedback and join our waiting list by completing the form below.
Why It Matters:
- Empowers young adults to make informed financial decisions.
- Builds foundational skills for entrepreneurship and financial independence.
- Creates a fun and supportive environment for learning and growth.
Together, we can inspire the next generation to achieve their dreams and honor Dr. King’s legacy of opportunity and equity for all.
