Description
This report documents a collaborative project between students in SPH-F180: Survey of Practice for Youth & Families and the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence County, developed through the 2017–2018 Indiana University Sustaining Hoosier Communities (IUSHC) initiative. The project focused on enhancing financial literacy among middle school youth by designing and delivering three 45-minute educational sessions. These lessons were created to complement the Club’s existing Money Matters program and were implemented at the Thornton Teen Center in Bedford, Indiana. The initiative fostered mentorship between IU students and local youth while addressing a community-identified need for early financial education.
