Today more than ever, teen girls need the tools to develop smart money habits and financial skills. JWI paves the way for financial success with our Life$avings®: Financial Literacy for Teen Girls program.

Life$avings® introduces high school girls to budgeting, saving, and asset-building, all within a Jewish context. This community-wide program includes a mother-daughter seminar, training for educators, workshops for teens, a public awareness campaign, and online resources. A financial planner is on site to consult with mothers and an inspiring keynote speaker, empowering mothers and daughters to start an ongoing conversation about financial planning

More than 1,000 women and teens have already participated in this program in Washington, D.C., New York and Florida.
