The BFLP is a not-for-profit program designed to help young adults acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for long-term financial prosperity and independence. The program draws from case studies developed by Babson College finance professors to teach critical financial skills in a community setting. An online financial knowledge platform supports the program. Participants do not need any financial expertise, and only basic math skills are required.

BFLP workshops are restricted to participants 16 years or older. Workshops are highly interactive so class size is limited. Sign up early to ensure a seat.

A badge will be offered to all students who attend at least five of the six workshop sessions.
