Financial Titans
This comprehensive 6-month after-school program will be life-changing for kids and break the cycle of poverty.
How the Program Works
- Our first cohort of students is from under-resourced families and many experience food insecurity.
- Each cohort is comprised of 36 students in grades 10-12.
- Upon arrival, students are served a protein-rich, primarily organic whole-food meal. Because many of our students experience food insecurity, it’s essential that they can count on these two nutritious filling meals each week.
- After dinner, students spend 90 minutes learning to care for their mental and emotional well-being and how to create a life of financial freedom.
Specifically, What Students
Get From the Program
Throughout the program, we show students how to care for their mental and emotional well-being through scientifically proven techniques by the HeartMath Institute to elevate their emotional state in the moment, become aware of, and release accumulated stress so they feel better and think more clearly.
We also incorporate other proven techniques, such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT Tapping).
