Finanzas Sin Fronteras (Finances Without Borders)

Project Focus: Financial literacy.

Target Audience and Location: High school students who Woodrow Wilson High School in East Los Angeles, California.

Vision: A future where every student is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make informed financial decisions and build a path to long-term financial success.

Mission: Bridge educational gaps for students by providing opportunities to develop healthy decision-making skills around their personal finances.

Project Description: Scholar Hanna Corona and educator Dan Thalkar developed their project to address the lack of financial literacy education at their school, where many students face economic challenges and limited access to financial education resources. The project aims to empower students by teaching them essential financial skills, such as budgeting, saving, and understanding credit, to prepare them for financial independence and success. Through workshops, interactive lessons, and real-world applications, Finanzas Sin Fronteras provides students with the tools they need to make informed financial decisions.

As a student leader, Hanna is most proud of “my team’s resilience and eagerness to engage students from all grade levels. We are committed to our project and passionate about reaching our goal, which makes working on this team extremely fun and fulfilling!”
