Financial Voice
Free • Ages 14–18 • Online • Sep 26 – Nov 14, 2026
Saturdays • 2:00–4:00 PM ET
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 choose
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
