Curriculum

Our most popular workshop takes students on an interactive financial journey! Students are guided as they comb through current spending habits, reflect on personal needs, and create a spending plan or S.M.A.R.T. Goal to work towards during the semester/school year. Young people will be exposed to learning about career based income, taxes, paystubs, and various financial pitfalls they potentially will encounter. As students work on their goal, they meet again during a coaching session where they are immersed in thought provoking scenarios and small group collaboration. Students are encouraged to ask questions and are left with financial resources to continue supporting their journey. At the conclusion of the program, students are celebrated in collaboration with our corporate sponsors and partners to celebrate students beginning their financial journey and changes in their habits!

Our 1-hr Crash Course is a mini version of our 4-hr comprehensive workshop! This version was made for groups that desire financial literacy but have limited time to commit to a more comprehensive program. Students are left with resources to dig deeper.

Preparing young people for successful and stable financial lives
As educators, we are aware of the pitfalls that a lack of financial education can have on young people. The lack of knowledge delays and sometimes prevents financial freedom. Due to the lack of relatable resources, this program was born.
With a combined experience of 16+ years in education, Ashley and Tiffany designed this interactive curriculum to immerse young people in experiences that are engaging, impactful, and set them up with tangible next steps to develop long-term healthy financial habits.
WORKSHOP TOPICS:
NAME IMAGE and LIKENESS (NIL). TAX BRACKETS
GOOD DEBT VS. BAD DEBT BUDGETING TAXES
DEBT ELIMINATION STRATEGIES CALCULATING INCOME
CREDIT CARDS & INTEREST GOAL SETTING
ASSETS & LIABILITIES RECORD KEEPING

What our students have said
“I learned that you should budget your money. You should know what money is coming in and out. You should invest more in a house rather than a car.”
“One thing I would tell a friend to do is save their money! Every time they get paid or a paycheck, save a percent or put some money aside for either emergencies or other things you need to invest in for later in life.”
“My favorite part of the workshop was listing our wants and needs, distinguishing between the two was eye-opening. I learned a lot about understanding how they affect my life and my bank account.”
“One thing I learned from the workshop was how to read a pay stub when referring to gross and net pay”
Planned to A.T. is a nonprofit organization that curates interactive educational programs that teach financial literacy and life skills to prepare student-athletes and students for a successful life after college.
