April is officially designated as Financial Literacy Month, thanks to the proclamation by Idaho State Treasurer Julie Ellsworth, with strong support from the Idaho Department of Finance (IDOF) and the Idaho Financial Literacy Coalition (IFLC). This annual observance emphasizes the importance of early financial education in fostering positive financial habits.
