Studies show that U.S. teens are graduating from high school without solid financial management skills. The lure of credit card offers and check-cashing stores, combined with a lack of money management education, sets many up for financial problems that can last a lifetime. In turn, this impacts the quality of the communities in which we all live. We work to change that.

SecureFutures is a 501(c)3 non-profit agency founded in 2006 as Make A Difference – Wisconsin with a mission to provide financial literacy programs and resources that empower students to make sound financial decisions. Secure Futures has provided much-needed financial education to more than 126,000 students in high schools and community sites across Wisconsin and beyond, in lessons led by hundreds of volunteers from the local business community.
