School and Community Programs

Finance Explorers partners with schools, libraries, and community organizations to offer age-appropriate, engaging financial literacy experiences in flexible formats.

Let’s go on a financial literacy adventure!

Finance Explorers is where curiosity meets confidence. Through hands-on adventures, students progress from Young Adventurers to True Navigators, building financial confidence one step at a time, and gaining life skills like teamwork, leadership, and age-appropriate digital and AI literacy.

Finance Explorers is a hands-on program where students grow through different stages, from Young Adventurers to True Navigators, exploring real-world money skills through games, movement, and interactive challenges. Along the way, they also practice age-appropriate life skills, including teamwork, leadership, and digital/AI literacy, while tackling essential financial questions like:

What is money, and why do we need it?

What’s the difference between a need and a want?

Why do people pay taxes and where does that money go?

What does it mean to borrow money, and how does interest work?

How do businesses make money, and what are costs and profits?

Who can I ask for help when it comes to money?

Kids are naturally curious, about money, how it’s earned, what it’s worth, and how to use it. But while they’re asking smart questions, most financial education comes too late. Finance Explorers gives students the chance to build strong money habits and confidence early on, with programs that grow alongside them. We create a supportive space where kids can explore, make mistakes, ask questions, and feel empowered about their financial future, while also gaining age-appropriate life skills like teamwork, leadership, and digital/AI literacy.

The Explorer Pathway is designed to grow with students, step by step. Along the way, students also practice teamwork, leadership, and thoughtful use of digital tools and AI, life skills that prepare them for the future. By the time they become Mentors, they’re not just confident with money but ready to guide and inspire others.

Each session is designed to be low-pressure and highly engaging, so kids feel safe asking questions, trying things out, and building real money skills that stick.
