About the Babson Financial Literacy Project:

The Babson Financial Literacy Project (BFLP) is a not-for-profit program designed to help young adults acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for long-term financial prosperity and independence. The program uses interactive case studies developed by Babson finance professors to teach critical financial skills in a community setting. While exploring real-world financial situations, participants build lifelong strategies for budgeting, building credit, saving for retirement, and more. Our program educates young adults through workshops delivered at colleges, high schools, non-profits, and companies.
