FinEd50 continues to expand the coalition by partnering with the Association for Financial Counseling & Planning Education (AFCPE), a national nonprofit recognized as a leader in financial counseling, coaching and education. As a part of the FinEd50 coalition, AFCPE will expand our reach by integrating their dedicated communities of personal finance professionals into our advocacy network. Together, we hope to reach even more states and help expand access to financial education in all 50 states.
“AFCPE is thrilled to join the FinEd50 coalition. Equity, inclusion, and accessibility are guiding principles of our organization’s mission and vision. Our diverse and inclusive community of personal finance professionals serves people from all social and economic backgrounds. They work as financial counselors, educators, coaches, and planners to deliver high quality financial guidance to individuals and families nationwide,” said Rachael DeLeon, AFCPE Executive Director. “Knowledge builds agency, hope, and opportunity – something that all students deserve. By strengthening the financial education of our youth, we strengthen the financial wellbeing of our communities. We hope to amplify and inform the work of the coalition by connecting our professional community with the resources needed to be a voice for change.”
