About Financial Pathways
Understanding money management is key to economic stability and personal success in today's fast-changing financial world. However, many communities - especially underserved ones - lack access to the resources and education needed for financial empowerment. This gap limits opportunities, reinforces cycles of poverty, and deepens inequality.
​
Financial Pathways is committed to closing this gap by equipping Chicago’s youth, particularly those in underserved areas, with essential financial knowledge and skills. Through education and hands-on learning, we empower young people to build a strong financial foundation for lifelong success and resilience.
By investing in financial education today, we’re building a brighter, more equitable future.
Our Objective
To inspire today’s youth, especially those in under-resourced communities, by fostering personal economic and social growth through financial education, access, advocacy, and mentorship.
Our Vision
A tomorrow in which all Illinois residents, regardless of background, have equal access to education, resources, and support to evaluate financial choices and build a secure and prosperous future.
