Financial Literacy Programs
FiAT is committed to providing free financial literacy programs for both adults and youth. Through various sessions, we aim to serve all demographics.
​
In July of 2014, FiAT (previously “Pay it Forward Bay Area”) partnered with Junior Achievement and hosted its first Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship Summer Camp program for youth. The idea has since turned into a vision, which led to a plan to expand our Financial Literacy curriculum to all individuals in the Bay Area. In July of 2019, FiAT facilitated its 6th Financial Literacy for Youth Summer Camp program via zoom due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
​
FiAT collaborates with the California Society of CPA’s and local libraries to bring adult Financial Literacy to the Bay Area.
Youth Financial Literacy Programs
Early financial literacy education teaches kids how to have a good relationship with money, nurture good money habits, and practice using financial literacy skill throughout their lives.
We have a wide variety of developed programs for elementary, middle, and high school aged students.
Adult Financial Literacy Programs
It is never too late to take charge of your finances. We have programs developed to guide adults in understanding their finances and enable them to make better financial decisions.

These workshops guide learners through concepts such as retirement, savings, and more!
Online Learning Platform
FiAT partners with Financial Beginnings to provide you with an online learning system. This system allows you, the learner, to complete financial lessons online and at your own pace.

Success Stories
"My biggest take-away from the presentation is that there is such thing as good debt and bad debt. Knowing this now makes me feel not as worried to go into debt with college debt. Also, it allows me to think more about the different purchases that I may do."
