What if your teen could learn how money works — and stand in front of an audience to explain it?

Financial Voice combines two powerful tracks: real-world financial literacy masterclasses and TED-Ed Student Talks— an official program by TED-Ed, facilitated by Steps to New Horizons Corp.

Over 8 weeks, teens come together online to learn financial concepts, find their own ideas, and deliver their first TED-Ed Talk.

What your teen will walk away with:

• A solid foundation in personal finance: budgeting, investing, inflation, credit

• A fully written and rehearsed TED-Ed Talk on a financial topic they chose

• Public speaking skills they'll use for life

• A certificate of completion from Steps to New Horizons Corp.

• Their TED-Ed Student Talk video — a real portfolio piece
