As of 2017, only 17 states require high schoolers to take a class in personal finance, while 20 states require at least one high school economics class. It often falls to outside organizations to invest in K-12 financial literacy education, which can improve the national economy over the long-term and work wonders for your company’s brand reputation. But some students show little interest in learning about personal finance at a young age. How can your organization supercharge its community outreach to engage even those students who are resistant to learning important money management skills?

Adding a creative arts element to inspire students is key. According to Entrepreneur magazine, creative financial literacy education “transforms the subject of personal finance, with all its thorny principles and shrouded terminology, from something that’s scary and foreign to something that’s approachable and engaging.” Incorporating humor, storytelling and vibrant characters can engage students who might otherwise have no interest in financial literacy.
