What students say
"I didn't know what a credit score was before this workshop. Now I understand why it matters and how to start building mine." - High school junior, Miami
"The volunteers explained everything like they actually get what it's like to be our age. It didn't feel like a lecture." - High school senior, Fort Lauderdale
"I finally understand the difference between a Roth IRA and a regular savings account. Nobody ever told me this stuff before." - Community center participant, Hialeah
Our reach
Dollar Matters currently operates in Miami and the greater South Florida area. We work directly with school counselors, teachers, and community organizers to identify schools and centers where financial literacy education is most needed.
Every workshop we deliver is completely free for the students and institutions involved. We're funded through donations, university partnerships, and grant funding, never through fees charged to participants.
