Dough Boyz (Audrey Cooper)/ Money Matters (Shamekka Green)

What problem would you like to solve?

The lack of knowledge when it comes to investing and making our money work for us. We need to understand the importance of saving and what it means to have "good credit" and how we can obtain it.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

It is important because we need to teach the youth and everyone in the community how to invest, how credit works, how to increase wealth. Educating the community on how to use their money will stop them from making foolish choices that put them further in debt/poverty.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

There should be classes offered to the community that cover these topics. There should also be mentors to help them learn how to manage money, create new streams of income and the basics of being financially literate.

Who would that help?

Everyone in the community
