This document is a guide detailing the Credit Worthy program developed by OneMain Financial in partnership with Everfi. The program aims to enhance financial literacy among high school students across the United States, including Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. It addresses the significant gap in credit education, as research indicates that many young adults lack understanding of credit scores and management. The program provides a free, digital curriculum available in both English and Spanish, aligning with Jump$tart National Standards in K–12 Personal Finance Education. The curriculum focuses on essential financial concepts, enabling students to make informed financial decisions. Since its pilot launch in 2021, the program has reached over 500,000 students and has shown measurable increases in financial literacy. The document also discusses OneMain's commitment to community engagement through volunteer opportunities and scholarship funding to support students pursuing higher education.
