Georgia Kids Win Big: GCFLF and SRP Credit Union Create Financial Futures
Georgia's students are gaining financial independence through an innovative collaboration. 200 children will receive financial literacy tools and their own bank accounts, with $5,000 in deposits distributed among participants.
SRP Federal Credit Union and the Global Children's Financial Literacy Foundation (GCFLF) have teamed-up for a financial wellness book drive on April 17 and 18 in Waynesboro and Augusta.
'By giving kids a stake in their financial future, we're teaching concepts and creating opportunities for them to see what's possible,' says Prince Dykes, founder of GCFLF. In similar programs, students reported feeling more confident about saving and investing, with kids saying they felt like they could really manage their money.
Students will receive complimentary editions of the Wesley Learns financial literacy series courtesy of SRP. The collaboration provides real-world financial experience that builds confidence and inspires lifelong economic success. Its goal is to break poverty cycles, foster wealth, and empower families with lasting opportunities.
'SRP Federal Credit Union is committed to fostering financial literacy across all age groups through various programs. We're especially glad to partner with GCFLF on this project,' says Grace Helms, Assistant Vice President of Community Development.
Georgia ranks 11th in the U.S. for millionaire households. This program ensures local children gain the knowledge and resources to build wealth and strengthen their community's economic future.
Reaching New Cities - Expanding the Impact
Starting in Georgia, the initiative will expand nationwide through an April book drive. It plans to donate 2,500 books and create first-time shareholders in five cities: Atlanta, Denver, New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. As the program grows, GCFLF seeks new partners to sponsor book drives and teach personal finance basics.
