The Greenwich Finance Series (GFS) organizes financial literacy events for students and community members across Greenwich and neighboring towns — pairing accredited financial experts with hands-on learning so young people leave with real skills in budgeting, taxes, investing, and the technology shaping modern finance.
Our inaugural event brought together a small-cap private equity founder and a J.P. Morgan private wealth advisor to teach 30+ students — representing every public and private high school in Greenwich — a foundational curriculum in budgeting, taxes, and investing.
Attendees rated the event 4.65 / 5 overall, and reported an average 4.18 / 5 likelihood of beginning to invest within six months.
40+ students from 10 schools across the Port Chester–Rye–Fairfield County area joined accredited professionals for a condensed financial curriculum, followed by a hands-on session on AI in quantitative finance.
Students ran a custom Jupyter notebook — built by our team and hosted in Google Colab — that powers a basic AI stock-prediction agent, walking line by line through how the code mirrors real quantitative workflows. Featured in The Greenwich Free Press.
Every GFS event is designed alongside working financial professionals and centers on three pillars: budgeting that fits a student's life, the basics of taxes, and how investing actually works.
Newer events layer in modern tools — including AI and quantitative analysis — so students see where the field is heading, not just where it is today.
GFS is organized through the First Selectman's Youth Commission of the Town of Greenwich. We're planning additional events this year for a wider range of demographics — partners, speakers, and volunteers welcome.
