Strategy for Assuring Financial Empowerment (SAFE) Report
US Financial Literacy and Education Commission
The Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC or Commission), plays a central role in the federal government's efforts to enhance financial literacy. FLEC coordinates its members' diverse financial education activities -- for families, school children, college students, servicemembers and their families, disadvantaged and financially vulnerable populations, and others. FLEC provides a platform for its member agencies to join a common conversation and share ideas, experiences, and lessons that inform their financial education policies and practices so that the government's financial education efforts can be more effective. This report will describe how FLEC members are taking action, using the diverse areas of expertise and resources to address the financial capability of young people by building the basics of financial knowledge, helping navigate higher education decisions and make choices early in their careers to plan and act for their futures. The Strategy for Assuring Financial Empowerment (SAFE) report introduces FLEC's strategic focus and describes how the Commission is harnessing the resources and expertise of its members to achieve progress in financial education and literacy. This report details recent and ongoing FLEC efforts related to "Starting Early" in four areas: (1) Preparing Children and Youth for a Financially Capable Adulthood; (2) Informing Higher Education Decision Making; (3) Advancing Financial Education in the Workplace; and (4) Research and Evaluation. Throughout each of these sections, this report describes FLEC's coordination of activities, materials and resources made available to the public, and work with partners outside of the government, including activities and resources for traditionally underserved populations.
