From the President & CEO

As 2022 draws to a close, I want to thank our donors, sponsors, volunteers, teachers, staff and students for making it a busy, successful year at Young Americans Center for Financial Education. Your support and participation in our programs makes all the difference and we are truly grateful. 

We look forward to the New Year and a return to full capacity for our spring and summer programs. 

In fact, if you are looking for fun summer day camps for kids going into 3rd through 8th grades, now's the time to act. We have a full slate of camps scheduled for our Cherry Creek and Belmar locations including Running Your Own Business, Creating a Mobile App, Junior Money Matters (basic financial literacy) and, of course, week-long visits to Young AmeriTowne and International Towne.

Camp registration opens ONLINE on January 9. Our camps fill up quickly so I encourage you to register soon. 

In the meantime, stay warm and safe this week and have a very happy holiday! 
 

Colorado Gives Day
Donors support financial literacy programs 

Thank you for giving students in Colorado the opportunity to learn important lessons about personal finance, free enterprise, and entrepreneurship through hands-on programs like Young AmeriTowne and YouthBiz. 

Your gifts helped Young Americans Center for Financial Education raise over $20,000 on Colorado Gives Day. 

We are so grateful and our students thank you. 

Youth Advisory Board:
Mo Chism and Celina Cookson

Sponsor Spotlight:
Thank you, Community Partners!

In this season of giving, we appreciate the time that our community partners have spent supporting this great organization. Whether it was volunteering as a shop business consultant in Young AmeriTowne, acting as a judge for our YouthBiz student business pitch competitions in classrooms, or serving on the selection panel for the YouthBiz Stars statewide young entrepreneur competition, we treasure your participation. 

These corporate leaders are Colorado’s most community-minded companies working consistently to create a culture of service and dedication to building a better tomorrow.

When you volunteer for any of our programs, you can see the magic happen as kids develop a financial foundation that will serve them now and in the future. First experiences happen every day at Young Americans, such as applying for a job, understanding supply and demand, experimenting with various marketing tactics, and repaying a bank loan.

We are honored to have you share in these experiences and help shape the workforce of the future.
