Financial Coaching

Curriculum

We offer financial literacy curriculum for students ages 5 to 18 that can be implemented into existing or new programs. We do this in a few different ways:

  • Provide curriculum, supporting materials and instructional support to help a school implement a new program.

  • Provide curriculum, supporting materials and instructional support to help teachers understand and implement the program themselves.

  • Provide curriculum, supporting materials and necessary guidance to help a school to implement the program on its own.

Workshops

We offer several types of workshops covering a variety of different topics — targeting students ages 5 to 18, parents and others. Our workshops are very flexible in terms of how they are structured, who they are targeted toward and how they are implemented. This allows us to create a framework that meets your specific needs and goals. If you aren’t quite sure what you are looking for, we offer a free consultation that allows us to better understand your culture and needs, and then from there we will provide our recommendations on how to move forward.

Sample Workshops for Students

  • Single-Topic Classroom/Student Assembly Takeover

  • Single-Topic Afternoon/Evening Session for Students

  • Single-Topic Afternoon/Evening Session for Students and/or Parents

  • Workshop Series Covering a Variety of Topics for Students and/or Parents

Sample Workshops for Groups

  • Financial Wellness Workshop: Provide your team with a solid level of understanding on money management principles and successful financial strategies that they can apply to their own lives outside of work.

  • Women’s Financial Wellness Workshop: This can be as formal or informal as you want! The underlying goal is to discuss and provide a solid understanding of successful money strategies that women can apply to their own lives. This is also an opportunity for women to have a safe space to talk about finances and the impact that money has on their lives. This type of workshop can be built around a single topic (debt, divorce etc.) or a broader range of hot topics.
