Financial Literacy Workshop Summer Camp 2025 Testimonial L.H. Williams Recreation Center I thoroughly enjoyed having Ms. Natelya Hale with Invest Young Money coming to speak with the nearly 40 kids we had for Summer Camp 2025 here at L.H. Williams Recreation Center. Ms. Hale catered her workshops with age-appropriate activities to get campers of all ages engaged in the money management process. Our campers exercised their critical thinking skills to do everything from counting out change to developing budgets to understanding credit. The campers became so engaged that they were eventually able to ask their own questions about how to manage money in order to better understand the financial world. Having activities like financial literacy to engage in during the summertime is especially important for these kids, as many turn away from practicing their critical thinking while not in school. I highly recommend having Invest Young Money and Ms. Hale visit other camp programs and student organizations to better prepare our kids with the proper financial mindset needed in the modern day. - Paige Riser

Natelya is one of the most genuine and dependable people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Her integrity shines through in everything she does—she’s someone who always does the right thing, even when no one is watching. She approaches every responsibility with a level of care and thoughtfulness that reflects her maturity and strong sense of accountability. Whether it’s her professional work, her community service, or even just being there for the people around her, Natelya is someone you can always count on. She’s the kind of person who brings out the best in others, leads by example, and approaches life with a calm, steady presence that’s truly inspiring. Anyone who knows her would agree—she’s someone you can trust wholeheartedly and admire deeply.

We had the pleasure of partnering for a financial literacy workshop at our church. Natelya broght amazing energy and made learning money and entrepreneurship fun.  It was heartwarming to see their enthusiasm grow as they discussed ways to start their own businesses. We invite them back for more sessions.

As a parent, I can’t thank Invest Young enough for the incredible work they did with our kids. My daughter came home excited about budgeting, saving, and even had ideas about starting her own small business! They made concepts so relatable and easy to grasp, and it’s clear that they care deeply about helping kids take control of their financial futures. It’s amazing to see my child so motivated and confident about money management.

I was so impressed with the impact they had on my grandchildren after their workshop. They came home talking about how to budget, save, and even invest! It’s wonderful to see them excited about learning important life skills at such a young age. As a grandmother, I’ve always wanted to pass down good financial habits, and this program gave them the tools and knowledge in a way that was fun and engaging. I’m thankful for the valuable lessons they’ve learned and how empowered they feel about managing money.

Working with Natelya Hale has been an invaluable experience that has deeply impacted my personal and professional growth. Over the course of our meeting, her guidance has been consistently thoughtful, actionable and taylored to my goals. Natelya brings a unique blend of expertise and empathy to the table which makes every session  both productive and inspiring. 
Her ability to help me streamline my priorities, clarify my vision, and implement practical strategies has been transformative. For example through her advice, I've been able to refine my LinkedIn presence, align my branding with my career goals, and simplify my approached to entreprenuership.   

As a supervisor with the Parks and Recreation center, I’m thrilled to share the positive impact Invest Young Money had on the kids in our program. Their team delivered engaging workshops on budgeting, savings, investing, and entrepreneurship, breaking down these important concepts in ways that were easy for our young learners to grasp. The interactive activities kept the children excited, and by the end of the sessions, many were already thinking about ways to save and grow their own money. It was a fantastic experience, and we look forward to partnering with them again!

Invest Young recently visited our church to teach the youth about budgeting, saving, investing, and entrepreneurship. Their team did an amazing job breaking down these important financial concepts in a way that was relatable and engaging. Our young members were enthusiastic, asking questions and participating in activities that helped them understand how to manage money wisely. It was truly a blessing to see them empowered with knowledge that will benefit them for years to come.
