Testimonials

"My experiences have been very different from any other environment. The tutors are very down to earth and the lessons don't give you the feeling you are in class. Everyone has fun and is engaged."

Ramir, Philadelphia Student
“The FGI program, its teachers, volunteers, and behind the scenes support network has literally rescued students from academic turmoil and given them a beacon of light toward scholastic success.”

Brett, Philadelphia Teacher
“You cannot escape the responsibilities of tomorrow, but with great knowledge and preparation you can be ready. FGI provides that knowledge and preparation.”

Karim, Philadelphia Student
"Not only have I learned the basics of investing, but I have also learned the importance of networking. Through FGI, I’ve built great relationships with the tutors, opening an opportunity to grow from a participant to a future volunteer."

Naomi, Philadelphia Student
"FGI helped me understand the importance of world affairs. Knowing what changes are happening in the economy can help predict the value of new and old stocks during times of struggle and success."

Myquel, Philadelphia Student
"FGI is not just a place to learn but a place to make friends and ask financial questions to people who are always happy to lend a hand."

Kolida, Philadelphia Student
"FGI taught me how to read the news, analyze stocks, and invest for the future. FGI inspired me to go to Syracuse because I was able to make connections with students from Syracuse, I am excited that I will be attending Syracuse University this fall."

Mahamadou, New York Student
"The FGI program gave us legitimate resources and counseling. Not only did it teach me about the stock market, but it also gave examples about patience and being faithful to people."

Sainey, Philadelphia Student
"The program has definitely changed the way I think about my future. I never really thought about investing in the past, but now it's something that I will definitely be doing in the future."
