The idea of putting money into the hands of the students through the unique and well recognized Participatory Budgeting program is quite novel and exciting.

Personally, I was jealous that i didn't have this fantastic program to help me understand money better, but I'm grateful to learn and excited for the future of FirstRoot and their ambitious goal to make a global impact in building financial literacy and civics in ALL SCHOOLS,CLUBS,DISTRICTS and FAMILIES.
