Working together we can improve the financial literacy of South Carolina's youth.

If you're involved with or concerned about students learning how to handle money successfully, you've come to the right place. The South Carolina Jump$tart Coalition is a non-profit organization of individuals representing business, government and education, joined to improve the personal financial literacy of South Carolina's youth.

  • Enhance and improve financial literacy levels of South Carolina's K-12 educators and students;

  • Promote and develop public awareness of the importance of financial literacy; and

  • Nurture personal financial literacy within the state through grassroots initiatives.

The South Carolina Jump$tart Coalition is a proud affiliate of the National Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy.
