The Charlton Center for Responsible Investing will host the Money Matters Camp from July 29 through Aug. 2 on the McNichols Campus.
More than 300 Metro Detroit elementary, middle and high school students, along with volunteers and camp counselors will be at UDM. They will participate in an exciting week of education and fun-filled activities centered on financial literacy, investing, and life skills.
The Charlton Center’s Mission of reversing the trend of under-representation of people of color and females in the investment industry by providing academic excellence and hands-on training to this demographic aligns with the focus of the camp.
The camp’s founder, Gail Perry-Mason, is an alumna of the University. A longtime senior investment professional, author, and renown speaker, Perry-Mason’s passion for financial-based education led her to found Money Matters for Youth in 1996. The camp has helped provide important financial learning to thousands of Detroit students.
