Volvo Financial Services Invests in Financial Literacy Programs for Youth through Partnership with JA Worldwide
VFS employee volunteers will partner with JA educators in Brazil , France , India , Italy , Peru , South Africa , Spain , the United Kingdom and the United States in communities where VFS employees live and work. Together, they will teach young people a number of important financial skills, including setting personal financial goals, developing a savings plan and how to budget effectively. Participating youth will also have a chance to learn firsthand about careers in the transportation and equipment industries that VFS serves.
The investment is fully aligned with the Volvo Group's overall sustainability ambitions, which include a commitment to all 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Developing strong financial literacy skills will have a positive impact on several SDGs, including helping end poverty, supporting quality education, empowering women and girls, and more.
