The Pathway to Purpose Youth Finance Summit is an annual, one-day event to help 8th and 9th graders learn about money skills through games, activities, and real-life simulations.
Hosted by the Aliyah Boston Foundation and Parach Resource Management, the Pathway to Purpose Youth Finance Summit is a FREE one day Summit typically held in November.
The very first Summit was held on November 8, 2025 at the University of the Virgin Islands, Sports & Fitness Center in St. Thomas, USVI.
Discover financial education topics that make a difference in children’s lives.
Students that attend divide into dynamic groups of 20-25, diving into a round-robin adventure of financial mastery—Budgeting, Credit Scores, Investing, and the heart-pounding Virgin Islands’ Ventures simulated town where they take themselves through real life simulations on saving, budgeting, investing, income and expenses in order to come out “in the green” when the activities are over.
