Our Mission

At Youth Capital Initiative, we passionately believe that financial literacy is the key to a brighter future. Our mission is to empower youth in the United States, ages 12 to 16, by equipping them with the essential knowledge and confidence to navigate their financial journeys, make informed decisions, and invest wisely in their futures. 
We are dedicated to breaking down complex financial concepts—such as budgeting, credit, investing, and economic trends—through engaging online resources, dynamic workshops, and insightful discussions led by experts. Our aim is to eliminate the financial literacy gap and nurture a generation of confident, financially independent leaders. Through our free group Zoom sessions, captivating video content, and boot camps, we are determined to make a lasting impact. 
Your support is vital to driving this transformative initiative forward. Together, we can ensure that every young person, regardless of their background, has the crucial tools they need to build a secure and prosperous future. Join us in creating meaningful change today!

Investire, crescere, ducere

(Invest, grow, lead).
 

Your Presidents,
Jude Parker and Jacob Schechter
