About MyFLY

MyFLY is a youth organization created by students, for students. Our goal is to educate elementary to high school-aged students about the many aspects of the finance industry.

With over 30 executive members around the world, we hope to use our resources for spreading awareness and knowledge about financial literacy. We believe in transparency, so our most recent goals are stated below.

Although financial literacy is so crucial in adult life,
awareness about it is minimal.

The problem

Data points

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada surveyed that “nearly 6 out of 10 Canadian adults (59.6 per cent)” do not have a good idea of how much money they need to save in order to maintain their desired standard of living in retirement.
Career-spanning effects

Lack of financial literacy can have significant effects on someone’s working life. Without proper awareness of how to manage money, retirement ages can be extended.

Cycles of poverty

Financial illiteracy easily spreads from one generation to the next, making socio-economic mobility significantly more difficult for some.

Untapped potential

A more financially literate world is one in which less money is wasted on harmful products, and more is invested into innovation, entrepreneurship, and, ultimately, prospering families.

“Being a part of MyFLY has helped me find my passion for investing and finance. Being a student at Handsworth Secondary, I had the opportunity to attend the various events that MyFLY would host on behalf of the Handsworth Investment Club.

Their presentations make learning about finance something easy and fun! I am proud to say that MyFLY has allowed me to become ten times more financially educated as I was before becoming a member.

We regularly share our educational materials and video content with many other organizations, each working with local groups of underserved youth.

Being used in over 50+ countries, Redd is one of the oldest and most established cryptocurrency projects in the space. Created in early 2014, it was known as "Reddcoin." Over the past six years, the project has gone through several evolutions of its network and technology. Many people are unaware that Redd is a 100% volunteer-based organization. This is a major achievement that shows not only the passion and belief everyone has in this project but also the goals we are trying to make a reality. Redd has received donations from the community in the past, and is now self-funded through the most recent POSV v2 network upgrade.
