Training
Youth Leaders First in Starting Youth Financial Education
November
24 , 2004
— Sacramento Mutual Housing Association (SMHA), a
NeighborWorks organization based in California, began a
youth financial education program in summer 2003 to provide
youth in the community with knowledge and guidance in financial
topics. An individual development account program (IDA)
provided participants with an added incentive to save: savings
of up to $500 are matched on a two-to-one basis.

Strategy [PDF] outlines SMHA’s strategies, results,
and lessons learned in its effort to provide young adults
with a strong foundation in financial fitness.
