Empowering the Next Generation with Financial Literacy
The MassMutual Foundation, in collaboration with EVERFI from Blackbaud, has marked a significant milestone by integrating the FutureSmart program into the educational landscape, aimed at bolstering financial literacy among middle school students. This initiative has proudly achieved Level III certification under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) for its promise in delivering substantial educational impact. Through engaging and interactive learning experiences, FutureSmart imparts crucial financial knowledge and skills, empowering students to make informed and effective personal financial decisions.
Expanding Impact Through Strategic Educational Programs
Launched in 2017, FutureSmart has successfully reached over four and a half million young learners across diverse communities, emphasizing the importance of financial education from an early age. This program not only covers basic financial concepts but also delves into savings, budgeting, and economic responsibility, preparing students for a financially stable future. The initiative underscores the MassMutual Foundation’s commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where young individuals have the tools and knowledge to thrive economically.
A Bright Future for Financial Education
The recognition of FutureSmart under ESSA underscores its efficacy and the positive influence it continues to exert on students’ financial literacy and economic understanding. As the program aims to expand its reach to six million students by 2025, it reflects a growing awareness and prioritization of financial education in shaping economically savvy future generations. This partnership between the MassMutual Foundation and EVERFI represents a pivotal step towards nurturing a financially competent youth, ready to face the challenges and opportunities of the modern economic landscape.
