OUR PROGRAM
Budgeting and spending
By reflecting on their budgeting personality, students develop a tactical strategy for setting financial goals and simulate managing monthly finances.
Managing Credit and Debt
Students develop an understanding of credit, how a credit score is calculated, and the impact of that score on the features and fees associated with credit cards. Teens are used to playing games, and a handy way to teach them to win at the game of life is to help them understand what a good credit score actually is. Even more important than understanding what a good number is by learning how that number is calculated.
Banking Basics
Students build an understanding of how financial institutions work, how to use them, the different products they offer, and how to manage their own account portfolio.
Insurance
Students explore the importance of risk management strategies and precautionary measures including the roles different insurance products play in a broader plan for risk management.
Income and Employment
Students explore how employment decisions affect their earning potential and income over their lifetime. Students also develop an understanding of taxes and deductions.
Financing Higher Education
Students identify potential financial stressors and create a blueprint for actions they can take to better prepare them for financing higher education.
