Our Story

How GFS started.

Since sophomore year, our founder has served on the board of the First Selectman's Youth Commission for the Town of Greenwich. Through that board, he founded the Greenwich Finance Series (GFS) to make financial literacy accessible to students and other community members across Greenwich.

GFS organizes free financial literacy events throughout Greenwich and neighboring communities, partnering with practicing financial professionals, coordinating with public and private schools, and designing each program around what students actually need to know.

    Future Community Events

    We're planning one to two additional financial literacy events this year aimed at a wider range of demographics across Greenwich and neighboring towns. If you're an educator, parent, or community partner interested in collaborating, we'd love to hear from you.

Empowering the next generation, together.

Whether you'd like to attend, speak at, or help organize a future event, GFS welcomes new partners and volunteers from across our community.
