Abstract	Mastering financial knowledge and gaining financial skills and habits are important building blocks to help children and youth be better prepared to make important financial decisions. Financial capability establishes a strong foundation for young people to fully participate in the economy and financial system as they enter adulthood. Also, financial capability can help improve their long-term financial and educational outcomes, such as college completion. These outcomes contribute to the overall economic strength of the nation. The federal Financial Literacy and Education Commission's (FLEC) "Starting Early for Financial Success" initiative was created to help prepare children and young people to be financially prepared throughout their lifecycles. FLEC is providing this document as an overview of youth savings programs and key resources to encourage the development and implementation of programs that expand the financial capability of youth and build opportunities for financial inclusion for more families.
