Economic Empowerment for Students

The Office of Economic Empowerment helps high schools across the Commonwealth by funding and coordinating financial education fairs.

A financial education fair is a fun, interactive, and effective way to teach critical life skills like saving, spending, and budgeting to high school students. Participants simulate the day-to-day budgetary decisions they will face based on assigned occupations and financial situations, including finding an affordable place to live, saving for retirement, and even budgeting for a new television set.
