Financial Literacy Introduction Program

YEI EconClubs have the unique opportunity to apply to offer a Financial Literacy Introduction Program (FLIP) within their community. EconClubs accepted to FLIP will be paired with a partner nonprofit organization to deliver financial literacy workshops to underserved youths.

Additionally, YEI will provide FLIP-affiliated EconClubs with year-round FLIP training sessions, our extensive 16-week FLIP curriculum including activities and post-session resources, and PVSA-certified volunteer hours for any members who volunteer with FLIP.

In order to ensure we are delivering high-quality workshops, participation in FLIP is limited to YEI EconClubs. If you do not have a YEI EconClub at your school, you may apply to start one here.
