Why it matters

Money skills aren't taught in most classrooms.
So we teach them.

Kids who learn to budget and save early grow into adults who make confident financial decisions. The earlier they start, the bigger the head start.

01

Only 1 in 4 students

gets any personal finance education before graduating high school.

02

Habits form by age 7

research shows core money attitudes are set before kids finish elementary school.

03

2× more likely to save

as adults, kids who had hands-on money practice save more and borrow smarter.

Programs

Learning by doing

Every program ends with kids using real money on a real project — because skills stick when they're earned.

Money Basics Ages 7–10

Coins, counting, and the three-jar system: save, spend, share. Games, stories, and a first trip to a real bank.

How it works

From allowance to entrepreneur in three steps

  1. Join a workshop

    Free weekend sessions at local schools and libraries. Kids get a workbook, a mentor, and a snack.

  2. Practice with real money

    Every kid gets a small seed fund to budget, invest in supplies, and grow through their own project.

  3. Showcase & celebrate

    At our kid-run market days, families watch young founders pitch, sell, and deposit their earnings.
