Youth Finance University is a DECA project created by Newport High School students, aiming to provide financial literacy classes to children in the Greater Seattle area.

Youth Finance University was founded by Newport High School students with a passion for financial education. Our mission is to empower young minds with essential financial knowledge, making complex concepts accessible and engaging for students aged 7+
As a DECA PMFL (Personal Financial Literacy) project, we believe that financial education should be available to everyone, regardless of their background. That's why we offer our comprehensive program completely free of charge.
To create a future where every young person in the Greater Seattle Area has the financial knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their money and investments.
We combine peer-to-peer learning with practical exercises and real-world examples to make financial education engaging and relevant for young learners.
At the moment, we are currently searching for available space to teach our lessons. Please sign up below to get updates on when and where we will be holding our classes.
