Our Programs
Our mission is needed as much today as it was when we were founded. We partner with local schools and community organizations to create customized and innovative financial literacy workshops for students ages 12 – 23 and adults 24-50+.
We teach people to understand the decisions they make about money so they can build positive financial futures.
Our goal is to work with the school or community agency to identify the content that resonates best with participants. Each session is customized to fit the workshop participant’s needs.
Our staff and instructors afford the same high standard and quality efforts to clients and participants across all our client partners.
