Abstract

Utah 4-H and Fidelity Investments collaborated on a program to increase the financial literacy of teens and children.  This team approach led to the training of 81 teens, then 530 other youth statewide.  The program development and implementation processes may serve as models for other Extension programs.  The curriculum is available at no charge.
