For A Bright Future Foundation Expands NextGen Finance Lab to Manhattan High Schools
The For A Bright Future Foundation (FABF) has announced a district-wide expansion of its NextGen Finance Lab program across the Manhattan High School District. Following a successful pilot at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School, the initiative will initially roll out to eight high schools this fall, with a long-term goal of reaching all 50 public high schools in the district. The program utilizes a project-based curriculum combining Dave Ramsey's financial literacy materials with a FinTech mentorship ecosystem. Students engage with industry professionals to learn about budgeting, investing, and entrepreneurship, culminating in the 'Pitch Like A Dragon' competition where they present business concepts to venture capitalists and industry leaders for scholarship opportunities.
