Financial Leadership

Why This Class

In a world of many negative ideas about money and of poor financial role models in business, government, and society at large, you know your student needs a healthy, positive relationship with their finances. This course gives your student an in-depth introduction to money and its purpose and role in their lives.

Mentors in this course guide students to develop the knowledge, habits and character traits to manage their finances successfully. Students complete a month-long budgeting project and explore stories that show them the impact of strong financial stewardship (or a lack thereof) on the lives of each character. In the final project of this course, students apply their new knowledge by participating in a stock market investment competition.

By participating in this course, students gain the skills and confidence to set empowering goals and apply consistent financial habits. They learn to see through common myths and misconceptions about money and prepare to live a prosperous life on their terms.
