Caden Harris will receive a $5,000 award and has been invited on an all-expenses-paid trip to Prudential’s headquarters in Newark, NJ.
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A 14-year-old student from Stonecrest is being recognized for his work addressing the challenges of the world.
Caden Harris was named a 2024 Prudential Emerging Visionary for his commitment to improving the lives of others.
As one of 25 Prudential Emerging Visionary winners, Harris will receive a $5,000 award and has been invited on an all-expenses-paid trip to Prudential’s headquarters in Newark, NJ, where Prudential employees will coach him and have the chance to meet other young leaders.
At just 7 years old, Harris founded “Financial Literacy for All”– a program on wheels that aims to incorporate financial literacy into the curriculum. “Financial Literacy for All” operates a bus that travels across the country, teaching students how to earn, budget and invest their money.
Harris said he got the idea when a fortune cookie told him that something on four wheels would be a fun investment. The financial literacy bus made its debut in July 2022.
Prudential Emerging Visionaries recognizes young people, ages 14 to 18, who work to address financial and societal challenges in their communities.
