ABOUT THE EXPO
The Teach Students Money Expo is an immersive financial education experience designed to equip middle and high school students with real-world money skills through hands-on learning and interactive decision-making. Hosted by the West Palm Beach Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., this Expo brings a proven, award-winning model to Palm Beach County for the first time, empowering young people to confidently navigate financial life ahead.
In Palm Beach County, families and students face rising costs and financial challenges from an early age. Financial literacy is essential not only for individual success, but for community strength and long-term economic stability. This Expo empowers the next generation with practical tools building confidence, promoting responsible decision-making, and helping students chart positive financial futures.
