Because women have historically been underrepresented in financial careers, Invest in Girls focuses on providing financial literacy and mentorship opportunities specifically for high school girls and ultimately increasing the number of women working in finance.
Invest in Girls offers virtual courses on the basics of personal finance and investing and offers in-person experiences for the students to meet and hear industry professionals give insights and advice about careers in finance.
"This experience entirely changed my understanding of careers in business, and expanded my knowledge greatly. I am in my last year of high school and it’s time to make decisions about my future. I never expected my mindset to completely shift about what I might do after high school, but it did, thanks to Economic Literacy Colorado."
- Trinity S. High School Senior
