Expanding the Horizon: New Pathways to Youth Wealth Building

Economic mobility requires the security and agency of wealth. To address systemic inequity, we must ask: how can we build pathways to prosperity for families historically excluded from assets? This session explores a transformative Colorado pilot providing $20,000 in direct investment capital to 100 under-resourced teens. We move past theory to show how direct wealth building empowers youth to navigate markets and grow intergenerational assets. By observing how these young investors manage portfolios, we gain insights to move from pilots to systemic policy. Join us to explore turning these pathways into a permanent infrastructure for thriving, ensuring every young person has the foundation to build a life of choice.
