Dollars and Sense for Youths

Practical programs help young people build financial literacy, entrepreneurship skills, and leadership abilities. The curriculum covers earning, saving, and investing money, while entrepreneurship education guides participants in developing business concepts. The "I am a Jewel" program offers personal training and mindset development for young girls, with a focus on self-worth and self-love. An annual youth symposium gives participants a chance to develop a business plan and pitch it to stakeholders and community leaders for consideration for a startup grant. Volunteers can support the programs, and donors can contribute to youth training and education. The organization focuses on preparing young people for real-life financial and business decisions. It is based in Orlando.
