Who we serve
A strong financial literacy workshop starts with the audience. We adapt the content, examples, pacing, and activities to the decisions participants are facing now.
Audience-first design
That is why customization is built into the process.
Primary audiences
Financial education designed for first-generation, low-income, underrepresented, veteran, and college-bound participants.
Workshops that support student success, retention, financial wellness, orientation, career readiness, and campus engagement.
Beginner-friendly instruction that helps young people connect money decisions to independence, college, work, and adulthood.
Flexible programming for organizations working to expand financial confidence, opportunity, and economic mobility.
Clear, practical sessions that help families navigate college costs, debt, budgeting, credit, insurance, and long-term financial choices.
Financial wellness sessions that make workplace benefits and personal finance easier to understand and apply.
TRIO programming
TRIO audiences may share first-generation or income-based eligibility, but each program serves participants at a different stage. Workshop design should reflect that difference.
Upward Bound, UBMS, and Talent Search topics can emphasize college costs, scholarships, student loans, banking, first jobs, credit, and independent living.
SSS and SSS-STEM programming can emphasize budgeting, emergency savings, credit, investing, career decisions, benefits, and post-graduation planning.
Educational Opportunity Centers can benefit from practical financial foundations, education financing, career transition, and household decision-making.
McNair and Veterans Upward Bound sessions can be adapted for graduate study, career transition, benefits, debt, investing, and long-term planning.
