Young Investors Society Partners with Elevate New York
Young Investors Society proudly announces our new Access Initiative partnership with Elevate New York.
Elevate New York’s mission is to build long-term, life-changing relationships with urban youth, equipping them to thrive and contribute to their community.
Their program model improves the lives of New York City Title 1 public school students through four coordinated components: daily accredited classes, mentoring, adventure activities, and college and career training. These components introduce our students to positive and caring adult mentors who ensure they don’t have to navigate challenges alone. Their holistic approach to youth development provides social-emotional support to youth as they explore new experiences and face new challenges; providing them with the foundation necessary to flourish into leaders.
The introduction of the Young Investors Society program will augment our core curriculum by integrating essential financial literacy education into the daily lives of our students. Through the YIS program, we will equip our students with the tools and knowledge needed to be good stewards of their financial resources. Financial literacy is a critical skill that empowers students to make informed decisions about their money, preparing them for a stable and prosperous future. By incorporating this program into the class time of our Elevate cohort next year, we ensure that our students receive practical, hands-on experience in managing finances, budgeting, and investing.
This initiative will not only support the mission but also enhance the overall educational experience by providing students with the skills necessary to navigate the financial aspects of adulthood. As we open this program school-wide, extending beyond the Elevate cohort, we aim to foster a generation of financially savvy individuals who are well-prepared to contribute to their communities responsibly and effectively. The YIS program is a vital addition to our efforts in nurturing well-rounded, empowered leaders of tomorrow.
We are excited to partner with an organization to bring financial literacy to underserved communities in New York.
