Audacious Foundation supports in-school programming that helps children develop an array of important lifelong skills to prepare for adulthood.
Children need to develop real world skills to succeed in the real world. Many essential skills are not prioritized, or are non-existent within the status quo school curriculum. Parents may not have the time or resources to supplement these important areas of education at home. By providing educational programs in these essential life skills during the school day, we ensure that all students at our selected schools can benefit.
Seldom taught in school, the understanding of money is an essential life skill.
Our programming partners bring financial education into the classroom, and even assist students in opening their own savings account.
