financial literacy & education

about the program
about the program

Our workshops are anchored by our five stackable skills so youth can learn the keys and fundamentals for financial freedom.

Bringing together a variety of topics from budgeting and credit to debt management and savings, our workshops foster a collaborative learning environment for young people to build and grow their financial foundation through real-life situational training.

We use media and technology to help create a relevant and collaborative learning experience that takes a deep dive into money 101. Youth can explore a whole range of topics from establishing credit, Biggie Smalls inspired “mo money, mo problems” (why paying taxes is essential) to savings, budgeting, debt management, and developing a plan for their long term financial success.
