8 Cents in a Jar, Inc

8 Cents in a Jar is a cornerstone of financial stability in Central Florida, guiding students within the ALICE population and families living at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. Since 2016, this nonprofit has steered students aged 8 to 28 toward economic mobility through targeted financial education. Our mission is to enlighten youth from under-resourced communities with financial life skills and resources to prevent poverty and rise to a higher economic position. We nurture fiscal responsibility and self-reliance through meticulously designed educational initiatives, integrating personal finance, financial social work, and community wealth-building. This approach helps students heal from financial traumas, make informed financial decisions, and contribute to the local economy. The impact is evident in the tangible progress of our students, who have collectively saved substantial amounts and are moving closer to a positive net worth. In a region marked by financial disparities, 8 Cents in a Jar offers students a chance to break free from generational poverty and forge a future filled with economic opportunities.
