What each session covers

  1. Topic

    Budgeting in 60 minutes

    A compressed version of our budgeting session: tracking, a simple plan, and one spending rule to test.

  2. Topic

    Credit, explained

    What a credit score is, what moves it, and the habits that build it early.

  3. Topic

    Paying for what comes next

    Education and training costs, financial aid basics, and borrowing decisions in plain terms.

  4. Topic

    Your first paycheck

    Reading a pay stub, withholding, and turning take-home pay into a plan.

  5. Topic

    Avoiding scams and high-cost traps

    Common schemes aimed at young people, pressure tactics, and where to verify before acting.

  6. Custom

    Built to your request

    Partners can request a combination of topics or a focus specific to their group's needs.

Intended learning outcomes

  • Participants leave with one concrete money action to take
  • Age-appropriate framing matched to the group
  • Facilitated discussion and practice, not a lecture
  • Take home materials participants can share with family
  • Pre- and post-session learning checks for the host
  • A written summary for the partner organization

What's included

  • Facilitation details confirmed for each approved offering
  • All participant handouts and take-home materials
  • Pre- and post-session learning checks
  • A short written summary for the host organization

This is a good fit if

  • You run a class, club, or youth program and have one session to give
  • You want financial content that is practical and non-commercial
  • You would consider a recurring series if the first session lands well
