ABOUT THE WORLDOFMONEY.ORGFounded in 2005 by Sabrina Lamb, the WorldofMoney.org is a New York City based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to empower youth with a sound financial foundation. It helps break a generational cycle of financial insecurity and change the way youth view money by equipping them with five tenets for a financially responsible and philanthropic life: learn, earn, save, invest and donate. The organization was selected as a Promise Place by America's Promise Alliance and by AOL Impact as one of ten top social good organizations in America.
HOLLIS, Age 13 - "The program helped me to finally see that … I must think more about my future life to save, invest so that some day I won't have to struggle. I want to be my own boss and instead of working for my money, make my money work for me."
