2025 Governor’s Financial Literacy Award

Governor Tony Evers chose 10 individuals and 11 organizations to receive the 2025 Governor’s Financial Literacy Award, and we’re honored to be among the recipients!

This award specifically recognizes our Teen Ambassadors Program for its work promoting financial wellness among teens. Through engaging, hands-on workshops, our Teen Ambassadors learn about important topics like credit, budgeting and saving and then share that knowledge with their peers. We’re incredibly proud of our Teen Ambassadors for helping make financial literacy fun, accessible, and peer-driven!

“These dedicated individuals and organizations are doing important work to help Wisconsinites become more financially secure and prepare for their futures, which is a critical part of strengthening the financial well-being of our entire state.” -Gov. Tony Evers
