AFN Virtual Roundtable Discussion Series: Philanthropic Strategies to Support Youth and Young Adult Financial Well-Being
Roundtable #1: Facilitating Youth Financial Well-Being: Philanthropic Strategies to Support YYA Financial Stability
Financial stability is the foundation of young adult financial security. Financial stability means having the financial resources to meet day-to-day financial needs and having enough financial cushion to cope with everyday financial shocks. It is characterized by having income from any source that exceeds the cost of living for young adults and their families, low or no harmful debt, and access to affordable, quality housing, childcare, health care, transportation, and other basic needs. Financial stability can be achieved through non-labor income and wages from earned income. This roundtable discussion will focus on strategies to provide young adults with non-labor income.
Attend this roundtable discussion to:
- Understand the importance of non-labor income and why it is critical for young adults’ financial well-being.
- Discuss lessons from non-labor income pilot participants.
- Identify philanthropic strategies and lessons about supporting non-labor income pilots.
Session spotlight: Non-labor income pilot participants. Discuss the unique needs of students working to meet tuition obligations as well as manage other areas of their finances.
