The Babson Financial Literacy Project:
The Babson Financial Literacy Project (BFLP), a not-for-profit organization, is designed to help young adults acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for long-term financial prosperity. We use interactive case studies developed by Babson finance professors to teach financial skills in community-based workshops. We help delivery partners design and deliver a program that's right for them, and we supply trained coaches or train-the-trainer resources for organizations wanting to run their own workshops. Participants do not need any financial expertise, and only basic math skills are required.
