Who we are
Young Americans was founded with one bold purpose: to prepare youth to take charge of their financial futures.
Mission
We ignite the potential in every young person through the power of financial literacy — equipping them with the confidence, skills, and knowledge to boldly take charge of their future and lead with purpose in a free enterprise system.
Vision
We envision a world where all youth are empowered to thrive in life and business — driven by knowledge, grounded in integrity, and free to pursue opportunity with purpose and responsibility.
