EDUCATE. EMPOWER. ELEVATE. BUILD LEGACIES.

Money skills. Career paths. Real ownership. For Baltimore youth.

Building Generational Wealth Youth Program teaches young people ages 11 to 24 how money, work, and ownership really work, and stays with them for years.

What young people do

Learn.

Age-matched financial education in four stages.

Build.

Real work: a budget, a resume, a college or job packet, a plan.

Lead.

Mentors, shadows, and a community that stays.

Why it matters

Nearly 3 in 10 Baltimore children ages 6 to 17 live in poverty. Wealth starts with early decisions and trusted guides. We help young people make those decisions on purpose.
