This brief offers guidance to grantees who want to or already address one of the adulthood preparation subjects (APSs)—financial literacy—in their Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) program. The goal of this brief is to provide additional guidance on financial literacy to support grantees incorporating it in their programs. The guidance is a part of a ongong effort to develop conceptual models to help PREP grantees and other practitioners implement the APSs, as well as a unified framework that cuts across subjects. The conceptual models are to help PREP grantees understand and select APSs, develop APS-related content, and target specific outcomes in their programs.
