About Us

Welcome to the Cross-Cultural Finance Initiative (CCFI) – a youth organization created by students, for students. Our mission is to empower high school students with a passion for finance and a curiosity about global financial systems, with a special focus on students with ties to China, such as exchange and international students. We aim to provide comprehensive education about various aspects of the finance industry and promote financial literacy among our members. 

跨文化金融倡议组织(CCFI)是一个由高中生自主创立并运营的非营利性组织,致力于为青少年群体搭建一个学习中美金融知识的专业平台。CCFI旨在激发高中生对金融领域的浓厚兴趣,并培养他们对全球金融体系,特别是与中美相关的金融动态的好奇心。我们特别关注交换生、国际学生等具有跨文化背景的学生群体,致力于为会员提供更为广阔的金融视野。


Why Join Cross-Cultural Finance Initiative (CCFI)?

Financial literacy principles and techniques are often not taught in regular school curriculums, whether in the USA or China. Lack of financial literacy can significantly impact someone's working life, potentially extending retirement ages and leading to financial insecurity. Finance can seem obscure or complex due to a lack of awareness, discouraging many from taking the first steps toward learning about it.

CCFI addresses this gap by providing students with essential financial knowledge and skills, fostering a deep understanding of both American and Chinese financial systems. Join us to become part of a community dedicated to making finance accessible, understandable, and engaging.

无论是在美国还是中国,普通学校的课程体系中普遍缺乏金融相关知识的系统教授。金融知识的匮乏会对个体的工作生活产生深远影响,不仅可能导致财务规划能力薄弱,还可能引发退休年龄的延长以及财务安全感的缺失。金融知识因其专业性和复杂性,往往让初学者感到晦涩难懂。加之大众对金融知识的重要性认识不足,这进一步阻碍了青少年学习金融的初步尝试。


CCFI致力于通过向学生传授必备的金融知识与技能,深入促进对美国及中国金融体系的全面理解,从而有效弥补当前金融教育领域的这一显著差距。我们诚邀您加入我们的行列,共同构建一个致力于使金融知识触手可及、易于理解且充满吸引力的学习社区.
