A First Selectman's Youth Commission Initiative — Greenwich, CT
An inaugural session bringing together a small-cap private equity founder and a J.P. Morgan private wealth advisor to teach 30+ students — representing every public and private high school in Greenwich — a foundational curriculum in budgeting, taxes, and investing.
Rated 4.65 / 5 overall · 4.18 / 5 likelihood of beginning to invest within six months.
40+ students from 10 schools across the Port Chester–Rye–Fairfield County area joined accredited professionals for a condensed financial curriculum, followed by a hands-on session on AI in quantitative finance.
Students ran a custom Jupyter notebook — built by our team and hosted in Google Colab — that powers a basic AI stock-prediction agent, walking line by line through how the code mirrors real quantitative workflows.
Frameworks that fit a student's life — from first paycheck to first apartment.
How the U.S. tax system actually works, and what to expect on day one of a job.
From compounding to index funds — the foundations of long-term wealth.
Hands-on Python notebooks showing where modern markets and machine learning meet.
The Finance & AI Workshop was really useful. I'd always wondered how stock models worked, and now I actually understand the basics of how one is built.
The Greenwich Finance Series began through the First Selectman's Youth Commission of the Town of Greenwich, where our founder has served on the board since sophomore year. GFS operates independently and is proud of its ongoing association with the Commission.
