Colleagues, I invite you to join me in co-sponsoring a resolution recognizing April 2025 as "Financial Literacy Month" in Pennsylvania. This designation aligns with national efforts to highlight the importance of financial education and empower individuals to make informed financial decisions.
Since its inception in April 2004, "Financial Literacy Month" has been recognized across the United States as a crucial initiative to promote financial well-being. A strong financial foundation begins with education on budgeting, saving, and responsible money management. While progress has been made in advancing financial literacy, further efforts are needed to ensure that individuals of all ages have access to the tools and resources necessary for financial stability.
By designating April 2025 as "Financial Literacy Month" in Pennsylvania, we reaffirm our commitment to promoting financial education and encourage schools, community organizations, and policymakers to continue supporting initiatives that enhance financial literacy.
Please join me in co-sponsoring this important resolution to strengthen financial education efforts across our Commonwealth
