Mayor Eric Adams launched the Financial Literacy for Youth (FLY) initiative, which targets financial education for NYC public school students. The program will impact over 350,000 students and families across 15 districts within five years. It aims to provide free counseling, workshops, and in-school banking experiences to help students develop strong financial habits. With the opportunity to learn about budgeting and banking, the initiative addresses gaps in financial knowledge that students currently face, preparing them for a more financially responsible future.
"Too many students leave high school knowing about chemical bonds but not Treasury Bonds; they learn how to do complex calculus but not how to do their taxes - that ends with our administration."
"The program aims to prepare young people to make informed money decisions and avoid common financial pitfalls early on."
