TAKING A CUE FROM BEYONCÉ: Bridges to Wealth

Twice a week, as part of a unique program called Bridges to Wealth, University of Pennsylvania students visit teacher James Breslin’s computer systems shop class to teach high schoolers how they can use computer technology and hone certain technical skills to grow their wealth.

Bridges to Wealth is a Penn-based non-profit that, since 2012, has taught teens, their parents and their neighbors how to build personal wealth and start businesses through investing, managing their credit scores and developing an entrepreneurial spirit.
