What? Women's Money Matters is recruiting for upcoming Life Launch programs. Life Launch is designed to apply our financial literacy and empowerment curriculum to a teen audience. We strongly believe that teaching young women core financial principles when they are on the cusp of independent financial lives is essential to the full economic empowerment for women in adulthood. We partner workshop material with one-on-one mentor relationships for each girl in our program.
