Middle School is one of the best times of our young lives. We are not yet in high school, but no longer elementary.

While going through an important learning phase, it is necessary to start building for future financial success. The Empify Money in the Middle program addresses the need for inner city youth to gain equitable access to financial education by using entertainment, real-life examples, and hands-on engagement as a vehicle for learning. The Money in the Middle program provides 6th-8th grade students with the financial foundation most adults learn as a result of trial and error. This unprecedented experience takes students on a journey to experience and understand the basics to financial education. Through personal connection, practical application, and the growth mindset theory, Empify pushes students to plan for their future, today.
