The Money Hub/ Economic Literacy and Growth Center Inc.

The Money Hub/ Economic Literacy and Growth Center Inc. The Money Hub is an education startup building curriculum and tech to teach financial literacy The Money Hub was established in 2016.

The Money Hub teaches financial literacy to teens and adults in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Its inception was based around helping the lower-income and immigrant neighborhoods of New York City. Our mission is to teach personal finance in disadvantaged neighborhoods to prevent future financial ailments and increase quality of life. The Money Hub gained momentum once it had won the Commmunity Engagement fellowship from The Colin Powell School in the City College of New York. The fellowship provided a grant to start-up the program and implement it in the surrounding Harlem, New York neighborhood. The Money Hub interacted with an overwhelming majority of young high school graduates or dropouts who were struggling with managing their finances. The team at The Money Hub believes this struggle can be mitigated by providing timely, objective information that teaches core values of personal finance (that public education has since failed to provide). We are designing and hosting workshops that teach personal finance, and provides unbiased financial advising. We closely monitor feedback to improve the workshops while gauging its impact. These workshops are led and formulated by highly motivated and talented college students who are trained in financial literacy. Our workshops empower people to take charge of their finances, pass on this new found knowledge to family and friends, and minimize future financial ailments. Our online campaign is through our website, moneyhubnyc.org. Here we provide downloadable resources that you can also find at our workshops. We also created whiteboard animated videos covering the topics of financial literacy. We believe we can connect the world through our site and make learning financial literacy, easy, effective and fun.

Happy Juneteenth folks

06/21/2022

Happy Junteeth everyone. It’s a day of freedom and it’s very important that we center the youth in this battle for financial freedom. We need to encourage kids to dream, to use their imagination and observation skills and apply them to build businesses that solve problems they encounter in their neighborhoods. The kids need to be taught the true price of anything is freedom. We believe in the kids and have seemed to put power back in their hands through financial education. This was us back in 2019 at Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens working with middle school kids to build a business and make a pitch in front of their peers and judges. Very proud of them!

This week we are launching our Edtech arm which we’ve been designing through the pandemic to utilize the curriculum we’ve tested and developed over the last 5 years, and apply all that we’ve learned working first hand with the youth we serve such as community, gamification, competition, simplification, reward and fun. Along with few other features to create financially literate teens. We are also turning our Instagram page fingem.io into the one stop hub for all things financial literacy so if you are an alum or have a teen in your life that you think will benefit please share and follow. Thank you.
