Teen Financial Empowerment Summit

Want to start your financial literacy journey? Looking to brush up on your skills and knowledge? Looking for a fun and empowering environment to financially grow and learn?

We are bringing back our Teen Financial Empowerment Summit!

About the conference

The goal of our Teen Financial Empowerment Summit is to introduce and provide interactive workshops for high school students in OUSD with the opportunity to strengthen their financial literacy and independence as they prepare to graduate into the working world. This unforgettable event includes interactive activities, workshop presentations, and resources from financial professionals of diverse backgrounds and experiences, a breakfast bar and catered lunch, and raffle prizes throughout the day.  

Our Annual Summit took place from October 17th to October 18th, 2024. We want to extend a thank you to the members of the community who participated in this event!

A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible presenters (Clay, Vanita, Pei-Ling, and Gillian!), dedicated volunteers, engaged attendees, and generous sponsor (Patelco CU) of the YWCA's Teen Financial Empowerment Summit!

Your commitment to empowering our youth is truly inspiring. Together, we are building brighter futures and equipping the next generation with the tools they need for financial success. 💖🌟
