Meet the financial literacy leaders making a difference in their communities.


ree

Throughout Hispanic Heritage month, CNBC, in partnership with Acorns, asked communities across America to nominate local financial literacy leaders who demonstrated a commitment to educating those who are often left behind.


Hundreds of names were submitted, yet only a few could be chosen. These leaders have spent countless hours improving life in the communities they serve. Each recognized leader received $100 in an Acorns account and a financial literacy leadership digital badge. Watch the full video here:

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.
