American Indian Child Resource Center

The ultimate purpose of PAID is to create an effective and innovative financial literacy program for urban Native youth that will: 1) empower the most at-risk youth and young adults in our community to navigate their own finances while building self-sufficiency skills, 2) become an established AICRC program that the agency can use to serve youth for many years to come, 3) Leverage intensive/wrap around case management to positively impact participants’ attitudes, leading to greater self-sufficiency and more positive outlooks, and 4) serve as an easily transferrable model for programs serving similar Native youth populations in other urban areas.
