Currently, Fox says, her Empify courses have been taught to kids in the 6th-12th grade in over 50 schools in the Philadelphia, New York City and soon-to-be D.C. area.

"They teach you everything about how to work and study, but they don’t teach you the basic things about how to open a checking account or how to buy a house," explains Fox. "For me, I want to be able to put financial education in our schools not just as something that is an option, but something that is mandatory."

Recently, Fox has expanded the reach of her financial education course through a partnership with the prison system where every Tuesday she goes in and works with the young men in a Bronx juvenile detention center.
