Young Americans Center for Financial Education
Teaching children about money and helping them establish good financial habits at a young age can be key to their financial success as an adult. At Young Americans Center for Financial Education, we are committed to developing the financial literacy of young people through hands-on programs and real life experiences that aren’t offered elsewhere.
Since 1987, 350,000 young people have participated in programs and activities that provide a healthy foundation for making wise choices in the future. Choices around budgeting, decision making, bank products, career interests, global economics, entrepreneurship and much more. Young Americans’ programs complement and reinforce each other to build works skills, life skills and financial self-sufficiency.
Young Americans offers a myriad of opportunities for children to learn, volunteers to serve or businesses to contribute. This year more than 48,000 young people will participate in Young AmeriTowne or International Towne, open accounts at Young Americans Bank, attend a Money Matters class or summer camp, learn about starting their own business or sell their products or services at the Young Entrepreneurs Marketplace.
Our financial partners allow us to reach thousands of kids in Colorado every year by making contributions, adopting a school or purchasing a table at our Celebration for Young Entrepreneurs fundraiser in September. If you want to make a difference too, visit www.yacenter.org or call us at 303-321-2265.
KOOL Cause of the Month Partners with the Daniels Fund:
KOOL 105 is proud to partner with the Daniels Fund for Cause of the Month. Philanthropist Bill Daniels loved America and believed each of us has a duty to offer help and hope to others. He established the Daniels Fund in 1997 to support programs that encourage personal responsibility and achievement. When Bill died in the year 2000, the bulk of his estate transferred to Daniels Fund, making it the largest foundation in the Rocky Mountain Region.
In the Fund's articles of incorporation, Bill directed the foundation to concentrate its efforts in two primary areas: College Scholarships and Community Support, including programs designed to help the homeless, physically handicapped and elderly individuals, as well as those suffering from substance abuse and mental handicaps.
