Our History
KYD launched its first program in August, 2013 to a room full of high school aged students at the Durango Recreation Center. The week long program included Junior Achievement’s Personal Finances and The Money Game along with guest speakers. In post survey results, every participant said they would recommend the program to a friend. With that success under our belt and the financial support of our community we decided to seek our non-profit status with a 501c3, which we received in September of 2014. Since then we’ve delivered programs to:
In the new 2016/17 school year, we look forward to expanding our financial literacy programs to all the 4th, 7th and 11th graders in the Durango, Ignacio, Bayfield and Mancos school districts, and to private and charter schools in these communities as well.
