Importantly, Carter grew up in Marcy. So, it’s only fitting to want to give something back to the community. The classes are offered both online and in person. Also, those who attend can look forward to having dinner provided at each class.
Additionally, they’ll receive smartphones with data plans and MiFi (hotspot) devices. Not to mention, the Crypto Kids Camp is in place for the children of Marcy to attend for two Saturdays.
Gloria Carter, mother of Jay-Z had this to say about the decision to launch the program:
“Everyone should be empowered to make informed financial decisions in order to take care of themselves and their families.”
