IN THEIR WORDS
"I'm a single mother. What I saw in Women's Money Matters was a way to empower women to be financially independent. You don't need an unreliable boyfriend. You don't need a husband if that doesn't happen for you. You can do it on your own."
LauraProgram Leader
"Before I started the topic, 'financial literacy' brought me feelings of anxiety."
AnonymousParticipant
"Our staff values Women's Money Matters because we recognize how fundamentally important financially literacy is. It's the springboard for anything our residents want to do in their lives. It's great to have hopes and dreams, but that financial foundation is how they're going to get there."

"I learned how to budget and save money." "I learned what money is." ㅤ That`s what girls are saying after graduating from Life Launch, a financial wellness program for girls, offered virtually or right in their own school. Every girl deserves to understand how money works before she has to figure it out on her own. ㅤ Life Launch brings an 8-week financial wellness program directly to students: budgeting, saving, understanding credit, and building real confidence around money, all with a personal coach. ㅤ This fall, we`re bringing Life Launch to more girls across Massachusetts. If you`re a parent, educator, or school leader who wants this for your students, we`d love to talk. Check out the link in our bio to learn more about partnering with us.
