With Financial Literacy Month just weeks away, we are excited to unite our community around this year’s theme: Connected by Purpose, Driven to Impact. At Jump$tart, we know that advancing financial literacy requires more than awareness—it requires advocacy, collaboration, and a shared commitment to empowering learners with the knowledge and confidence to build strong financial futures.
That is why our board, partners, state coalitions, and supporters are at the heart of this movement. Across classrooms, communities, and organizations nationwide, your leadership helps expand access to high-quality financial education and strengthens the national conversation around financial capability. Together, we elevate the importance of financial literacy and champion policies, resources, and opportunities that enable more students to thrive.
As we prepare for April, we celebrate the power of this collective effort. When we are connected by purpose and driven to impact, our voices grow stronger, our reach expands, and our impact deepens. Thank you for standing with us in this vital work—because together, we are making a meaningful difference in the financial futures of millions.
