WHAT'S OUR WHY?
WHAT'S OUR WHY?
TO CLOSE THE FINANCIAL DISPARITY/POVERTY GAP FOR URBAN AND POVERTY STRICKEN COMMUNITIES THROUGH LITERACY
According to the National Center for Education Statistics the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIACC) defines literacy as "the ability to understand, evaluate, use and engage with written texts to participate in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential" (p. 61, OECD 2013). Using the data from the PIACC, this Data Point summarizes the number of U.S, adults with low levels of English literacy and describes how they differ by nativity status* and race and/ethnicity.
1 in 5 U.S. adults (21%) has difficulty completing tasks that require comparing and contrasting information, paraphrasing, or making low-level inferences--literacy skills at level 2 or above in the PIACC (OECD 2013).
*Nativity status refers to whether the respondent was born in the United States or born outside the United States.
This translates into 43.0 million U.S. adults who possess low literacy skills: 26.5 million at level 1 and 8.4 million below level 1, while 8.2 million could not participate due to a language barrier or cognitive or physical inability to be interviewed. Adults classified as below level 1 may be considered functionally illiterate in English: i.e., unable to successfully determine the meaning of sentences, read relatively short texts to locate a single piece of information, or complete simple forms (OECD 2013). What does this mean for financial literacy? An even more astounding impact! Know Your Worth was founded specifically to offer FREE financial literacy educational tools and resources designed to make a positive impact in urban and impoverished communities
to empower Financial Freedom, Fidelity and create more Self-Sufficient future members of society.

DERRICK GRACE'S 'IN HOME BANKING' BOARD GAME
The "IHB" board game serves as...a genuine correlation between real life issues such as ownership, judicial system issues, financial literacy, and much more. Things like land patents, diet choices (and) family court, are just a few of the things families will learn with the "IHB" board game.
