At BFF, we believe that financial literacy is not just about dollars and cents—it’s about empowerment, confidence, and creating a future where money works for you, not against you. Our four-week interactive programs is tailored for youth ages 12–21, especially from minority communities who are ready to take control of their financial journey.

 

No matter your starting point, BFF helps you build a healthy, lifelong relationship with money. Through games, discussions, and hands-on learning, we cover essential financial skills that set teens and young adults up for long-term success.

Our Mission

 is to empower & educate individuals to learn the power of money, earn with confidence, and grow towards financial freedom.  

Our motto 

Learn it. Earn it. Grow with it, & Money will be your BFF. 

Our  Vision

Our vision is to create a generation of financially empowered teens who have the tools, mindset, and confidence to break the cycle of poverty and achieve long-term financial freedom. By providing comprehensive financial education, mentorship, and resources, we strive to build a future where all teens, regardless of their background, can harness the power of money to shape their dreams, overcome barriers, and create a legacy of prosperity for themselves and their families. We envision a world where financial literacy is a key to unlocking opportunity and success for every young person.
