The Money Week Houston K-12 Initiative provides free financial education to students in grades K-12. Programs emphasize the importance of teaching children good money habits such as: basic savings, preparing a budget, saving for college and financial goal setting. It is important that we make financial education a priority, and provide our kids with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their money, stay out of debt, and save for retirement. Money Week Houston works with schools, teachers, and after school programs to provide and facilitate core financial literacy education to students.
