Nancy PhillipsRaising Awareness For Today’s Youth!
While awareness of the financial crisis the next generation faces has certainly come a long way since I started on this journey, it’s still a very young initiative. By continuing to raise awareness, promote better education, and provide better access to family resources we can all make a difference in the success of today’s youth. On this page you’ll find articles and interviews with incredible organizations who understand the need for these resources, who are also doing their part to raise greater awareness of the situation we find ourselves in.
