Program Goals & Objectives 

The Coin Creators program by 8 Cents in a Jar aims to achieve several goals:

​

​

  • Economic and Financial Operations: Coin Creators is designed to help students between 12 and 18 accelerate their current business model or incubation idea. Through economic and financial operations, the program ensures that these ideas have a meaningful purpose, maximum profits, and scalability.

​

​

  • The program involves providing financial literacy training to youth to prevent juvenile delinquency. The aim is to reduce the likelihood of students who have been incarcerated for poverty-related crimes from returning to criminal behaviors by providing financial education.

​

​

These goals reflect the program’s commitment to empowering young individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in entrepreneurship and personal finance.

A 2017 RAND report found that incarcerated individuals participating in education programs (like financial literacy programs) were 43% less likely to return to prison. They also concluded that these individuals were 13% more likely to find employment after their release. Education not only helps these citizens live a better life following their release, it also gives them a much better chance of staying out of prison. Learn More About Our Jumpstart Financial Literacy Program. We begin working with individuals prior to their release to teach them valuable skills, such as how to open a bank account, create a budget, save money, build credit, and more. We continue to assist them once they’re back in the community to help them manage their finances moving forward.
