financial literacy programs in school

Our non-profit organization Angat Pilipinas Coalition for Financial Literacy will be kicking off its FLY To Schools Missions with an educational visit to Malinta National High School (Valenzuela City) on June 26, 2015.

The FLY (Financial Literacy for the Youth) to Schools Missions program aims to encourage students in public schools to set life and financial goals, and provide them with the basics of money management.

If you want your community school to be visited by the AngatPH FLY Team, please communicate with us by sending an email to info@angatph.com. You may also visit our website www.angatph.com and fill out the contact form. Continue reading Angat Pilipinas’ FLY to Schools Missions Launched
