Our Mission

FamilyFutures graduates are financially capable and personally responsible. We achieve this goal by:

Establishing age-appropriate financial education targets for all public-school students;
Engaging the students in financial education using MyFuture savings accounts for each student, seeded in kindergarten and growing as the student achieves benchmarks in financial learning;
Encouraging families to role model for their children, and achieve their own financial success, by providing information sessions, tools, and counseling on financial issues, as requested, for parents and other adults.
