The Manifesto

All things being equal, they are not. 

Every idea begins with a problem. 

Ours was simple: youth are expected analyze Shakespearean works and study cellular biology in the classroom, but have no clue how to face the financial realities of adulthood.

Youth face a financial education deficit, one that risks their higher education and future. Solano County has the highest rate of family poverty and yet has the fewest number of nonprofits per person in the Bay Area. College costs rising faster than financial aid can keep up and students face tremendous financial pressure.

​

We formed Fairfield Moneyminds to create a solution:

We believe that it should be a fun and accessible experience to build financial knowledge of earning, spending, saving, and protecting their money. 

​

By delivering high quality, enjoyable, and interactive workshops and resources to Fairfield youth, we will give students the academic foundation for understanding financial principles. Through mentorship support, we will engage with families and youth of all ages in Fairfield

​

Money + mind

There’s nothing complicated about it.
