Access to Assets: Building Wealth Through Investment and Financial Education

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CT

When it comes to building wealth, time in the market is one of the most powerful advantages a person has, making youth investment accounts a powerful foundation for economic mobility. Research finds that students from low- to moderate-income families who hold between $1 and $499 in a dedicated education savings account are three times more likely to enroll in college and four times more likely to graduate from college than peers without one. From 529 plans and CalKIDS to the newly established 530A Accounts, a growing range of youth investment accounts are creating more pathways than ever to begin early wealth-building.

Join Everfi and the Financial Health Network for a conversation on how early investment and financial education can work together to drive long-term financial health.
