Money 101 by step

The topic of money can seem huge and overwhelming and it doesn't help that most High School curriculums don't cover practical finance skills. Actually, only 15 states require schools to teach some level of financial literacy. That's why Step has developed Money 101, a financial literacy curriculum that starts with the basics - helping you take that first step towards feeling financially literate and independent.  

Step is on a mission to improve the financial future of the next generation, and that starts with you
