Kids Go Finance is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting financial literacy for children aged 6 to 13. The goal is to playfully and practically teach children skills in dealing with money, so that they can become economically capable at an early age and participate in social life [1]. The offer is aimed at schools, teachers, parents and all interested parties who want to enable children to have responsible access to finances.
Kids Go Finance sees itself as a lifelong learning companion, as financial education at a young age sets the course for equal opportunities and social participation [1]. The organization stands for a value-neutral, objective provision of basic financial skills that should promote self-efficacy and enjoyment of learning. It is committed to ensuring that children gain confidence in their own financial decisions and can thus develop a healthy, self-determined relationship with money in the long term.
The values of enjoyment of learning, personal responsibility, community and the empowerment of children are at the center. Kids Go Finance wants to help ensure that children, regardless of their family environment, acquire the necessary life skills at an early age and can actively participate in society.
Kids Go Finance was initiated by employees of TauRes Gesellschaft für Investmentberatung mbH, who have volunteered their expertise and time [5]. The organization is recognized as a non-profit organization and is based on a sustainable infrastructure of full-time employees and a large network of voluntary supporters. The commitment of these volunteers ensures a high reach and sustainability, as the offers are available throughout Germany and are continuously being developed.
The work is designed for the long term and social impact. Kids Go Finance sees itself as part of a movement that wants to improve educational opportunities and break cycles of poverty. The projects are designed in such a way that they operate independently of commercial interests and serve exclusively the common good.
The commitment of Kids Go Finance is embedded in the social discourse on more educational justice and economic autonomy in Germany. The organization cooperates with schools and other educational partners to spread its offer and reach as many children as possible. The ambassadors play a central role in the coordination on site and make a significant contribution to the success of the projects.
The interactive, practical approach of the organization directly appeals to children and ensures a positive, formative learning experience. Kids Go Finance thus contributes to ensuring that young people deal with important future topics at an early age and can participate confidently in society.
Kids Go Finance is a non-profit initiative that gives children playful access to the topic of finance through voluntary educational work and innovative projects. With pedagogical expertise and a large network, it strengthens the basic financial education and social participation of the young generation - sustainably, value-oriented and free of economic interests [1] [5].
