Bespoke Engagement · Schools, districts, churches & co-ops
Prevention-first financial literacy your learners will carry into adulthood
An NFEC-aligned, five-module curriculum for grades 9–12, written to the Jump$tart National Standards. Faith-based and secular tracks are held at equal rigor, and every learner receives an accessible edition from the first day.
The curriculum
Five modules, one steady arc
Each module pairs a short chapter with a story, a vocabulary set, a real-world activity and a reflection. Lessons run 45 to 60 minutes and fit an advisory block, an elective or a youth program.
- 01
Elements
What money is, how debt and credit work, and how influence shapes spending.
- 02
Plant
Goals that hold, a first budget and the habits that protect it.
- 03
Nurture
Saving on purpose, the emergency cushion and safe banking.
- 04
Grow
College costs, FAFSA, career paths and the first steps of investing.
- 05
Harvest
Giving, contentment and a plan the learner carries forward.
Why institutions choose it
Built for every enrolled learner
Accessible by design
Screen-reader-first materials, large print and dark editions, with keyboard-reachable fields. Accessibility is built into the first draft, not added afterward.
Faith optional, rigor constant
Parallel faith-based and secular tracks cover identical content at identical depth. Your community chooses the lens.
Outcomes you can report
Pre- and post-assessments accompany every engagement, so leadership and boards receive a clear account of what changed.
