Step 1: Start Learning

• Complete YIS lessons, videos, and quizzes for Personal Finance Lessons 1-6.

Step 2: Open an account at Webull

To participate, you’ll need to open an investment account with our online brokerage sponsor, Webull.

• If you are 18 or older, you can open an individual brokerage account with Webull.
