Empowering Future Generations Through Strategic Collaboration

The Young Investors Society (YIS) and Sammy Rabbit, two leading organizations dedicated to empowering the next generation through financial literacy, are thrilled to announce their strategic collaboration. This partnership aims to:

  1. Raise global awareness about the need for high-quality financial education for children and teens, improving access to resources that equip them with the knowledge, habits, skills, and attitudes essential for lifelong financial success.

  2. Train college and high school students to lead financial education initiatives and provide platforms for them to share their personal journeys and insights on financial literacy

"YIS is thrilled to partner with Sammy Rabbit, providing our members with community service opportunities to deliver habit-focused financial literacy lessons to elementary school children through engaging stories and songs," said Christine Tobin, COO of YIS.

"YIS has done an outstanding job teaching young people how to invest wisely, giving them a significant head start toward financial freedom and security. I admire their comprehensive approach to education, which offers 24/7 learning, competitions, challenges, community service, and unique experiences. I've been a fan and admirer since their inception, thus it is a genuine pleasure to champion financial literacy with them," shared Sam X Renick, founder of Sammy Rabbit.
