About FLY
Financial Literacy for the Youth (FLY) is an organization committed to the empowerment of the Youth through personal finance. Through our teachings, our members will gain exposure in topics regarding budgeting, taxes, credit, loans, insurance, and investing. University students are taught the material by the governing body at their respective institution. Upon completion, these students are then given the opportunity to spread their knowledge to the local community.
We currently have charters at Binghamton University and Ohio State University.
