While we innovate locally, Youthentity programs address national needs: helping kids develop real-world skills in the realms of financial literacy and career readiness to prepare them for stable, successful futures. Youthentity provides career development and financial literacy programs to help kids explore and learn concepts critical to real-world success. We believe that career exploration should start early, with an emphasis on learning skills that will transfer to any job: teamwork, leadership, timeliness, presentation, communication, and so much more.
Financial literacy goes hand-in-hand with career development. Too many young adults enter into the real world of jobs, rent, and car payments without an understanding of how to effectively manage finances. Youthentity provides financial education in an easily digestible format so kids understand the concepts of investment, savings, credit, debt, interest and more.
Our goal is to make Colorado the most financially literate and career-ready region in the country. We hope that every young person in the communities we serve enters adulthood financially literate, with applicable work experience and skills gained through our career development programs.
