Four Core Program Pillars · Pillar 4
Financial & Life Readiness
Prepares students to make informed decisions through financial literacy, practical life skills, and preparation for adulthood.
The Pillar
What this pillar is
Financial & Life Readiness prepares students for the real decisions of adulthood. Anchored by our Money Moves program and rounded out with practical life skills and college readiness, this pillar builds the confidence and independence to stand on their own.
Programs
The anchor program
What it is
Money Moves teaches the money lessons most students never receive. Each month tackles one theme through an interactive workshop rather than a lecture, and a rotating guest from a partner bank or credit union brings real world credibility.
How it works
- A themed workshop each month, from saving to investing
- Interactive simulations and real world scenarios
- A monthly guest from a partner bank or credit union
- A capstone budget simulation game
- A written personal money plan to keep
What students gain

What's included in this pillar
