TEAM HERMES

A YOUTH LED BRAND ADVOCATING FINANCIAL LITERACY

 We are Team Hermes, a group of young adults who educate other young adults about financial literacy. In recent years, we have noticed that there is an extreme lack of financial literacy in teens and young adults alike. On average, college students come out of school with about $30,000 in student debt. We want to change this.
