Financial Literacy Group at UCLA

The Financial Literacy Group (FLG) at UCLA is dedicated to educating students of all ages on essential personal finance and budgeting topics that are often overlooked in traditional education. Our mission is to equip students with practical knowledge and tools for financial independence by promoting the learning of financial concepts to foster confident decision-making and long-term planning. We encourage individuals to take control of their financial futures by teaching critical money management skills that pave the way for success in life. By creating a collaborative space for students to explore and discuss financial literacy issues, offering engaging content through our website, interactive presentations, and hands-on activities, and hosting guest speakers who are experts in the field, FLG seeks to bridge the gap left by the absence of these vital topics in high school and college curricula. Students are often expected to navigate their financial lives without formal education on these issues, making our organization’s work more important than ever.
