Our mission<\/strong>
At SHout!, we believe every young adult deserves a secure financial future. Our mission is to\nsupport young adults as early as possible with financial questions and concerns, so problems\ncan be prevented rather than dealt with afterwards.\nWe provide a safe, judgement-free space where young adults can talk openly about money,\nand where we work together towards clarity, stability, and a better outlook for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision<\/strong>
We believe that talking openly about money makes all the difference.By making finances\nsomething that can be talked about openly, and by providing young adults with the right\nknowledge and guidance at an early stage, many problems can be prevented. Prevention is\nalways better than cure.\nOur vision is of a society where every young adult knows where to turn with financial\nquestions and has the opportunity to build their future with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strong financial future starts here<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our story<\/strong>
We work in a way that is both needs-led and focused on young people. This means we think\nalongside you and provide guidance, clarity, and knowledge that suit your personal situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our initiative began in 2016, after we spoke to many young adults with financial questions.\nQuestions that, if answered in time, could have prevented serious financial difficulties.\nQuestions that should never have stood in the way of future opportunities. And questions that\noften remained unanswered, simply because it was unclear where they could turn for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw that there was plenty of support available once someone was already in debt, but very\nlittle support when it came to preventing those problems in the first place. Yet that is exactly\nwhere the real difference can be made. Prevention was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why we decided to do things differently: creating one place where young adults can go\nwith all their financial questions, while also giving workshops across secondary education,\nvocational education (MBO), higher professional education (HBO), and university level\n(WO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, we did this alongside our regular jobs. In 2022, we were able to establish our\nfoundation and fully dedicate ourselves to the further development of SHout!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the trust and support of Mr Loek Dijkman, we were able to make our dream a\nreality: supporting young adults become financially stronger and improving their\nopportunities for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, all it takes is one person who believes in you to change your life and enrich your\nfuture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
