Participatory Budgeting (PB) empowers youth to determine how to invest a shared budget to improve their school. Youth experience true agency and stewardship over their futures, learning through their own experiences how money really works.

The FirstRoot app makes Participatory Budgeting easy! Our app guides youth through every phase in the PB. It is scalable, secure, and FUN!
