Overview
FLF teaches students ranging from ages 13 to 22 depending on the school or program. Because the need for specific types of financial information varies depending on students’ ages, the FLF curriculum has been designed to be flexible. The curriculum has set units, but the lesson plans and activities vary based on the students’ ages and needs. For example, student under 18 do not yet have a credit score, but younger students can learn about credit and how it will affect them in the future. We have developed experiential learning activities so students can experience what it is like to be bankers and consumers and how credit dictates the borrowing relationships between borrowers and lenders.
FLF has several different programs offered across the Washington, D.C. area.
