3. Community Resource: Native Financial Cents: Supporting Financial Capability for Native Americans Curriculum
In partnership with the Wells Fargo Foundation, AISES developed Native Financial Cents: Supporting Financial Capability for Native Americans Curriculum (NFC) to engage Native communities in supporting financial education for youth and young adults.
Financial education is a critical component of workforce development, ensuring students and professionals can persist and thrive in their educational and professional endeavors while successfully managing personal finances.
Financial skill development helps students and early career professionals to advance more quickly both personally and professionally. Additionally, this financial knowledge will extend beyond personal finances to positively impact workplaces and communities, given that the financial principles learned are not exclusive to individual use, ultimately having a ripple effect throughout Indian Country.
