The goal is that when today’s kids become adults, they do not say, “I wish I learned that when I was younger.” Camari Ellis knows this. That is why he started Buy the Hood Youth Financial Literacy Camp. Ellis, a Philadelphia financial educator and tax professional, is giving African-American kids (ages 5 and older) lessons in money management. Youngsters will get tips on all aspects of financial literacy: investing, entrepreneurship, taxes, ownership, budgeting, and wealth building. This crucial knowledge will “create opportunities that last for generations,” Ellis says.
Ellis runs Buy the Hood, a Philly-area financial-education organization helping communities to recognize and leverage economic opportunities through education and ownership. It addresses that gap by teaching financial literacy, connecting students with real-life financial concepts.
