April is Financial Literacy Month! 💰📚 It’s the perfect time to empower the next generation with the knowledge and skills to make smart financial decisions. Let’s work together to help teens build a strong foundation for their financial future and accelerate economic opportunities. #FinancialLiteracyMonth #EmpowerTheFuture #FinancialFreedom #JACUNY

As we kick off Financial Literacy Month, we were proud to sponsor and volunteer with Junior Achievement of Central Upstate New York, Inc. during their annual Stock Market Challenge this week! Students put their investment and trading skills to the test by buying and selling simulated funds. Volunteers helped by handing out important news updates, facilitating trades, and updating students on their placement during this friendly competition. It is always a pleasure to work with the talented youth in our community! Thank you to our volunteers: Paul Battaglia Jess Kushner Sarah Turner Nicole Kingsley Brunner Jeffrey Ingraham, CFA, CAIA Samantha Larew Ella Nazzaro Sophia Krackov Kim Sitthisack Emir Erkenkalkan Alejandro Nunez Shane Degnan Lucy Qian Beth Mallette, CFA Shreya T. #financialliteracymonth #financialliteracy #stockmarketchallenge #juniorachievement #givingback #JAStockMarketChallenge #JACUNY
