Class Experience

Using interactive visuals and questions, learners will bring their own experiences to class. Kids love coming up with ideas on what their financial lives will look like in the future, and in this class, we’ll touch on building those skills of talking about money, visualizing, and making a plan!

This one-time small group class is an introduction to the concept of setting a realistic goal and the milestones necessary to achieve it. This class is appropriate for ages 9-12; creating a financial goal will be easier for learners who have experience with money (spending/earning).

Mrs. Alyx is a CFP professional and Financial Advisor who has taught money and finance classes from preschool to College level. 

A PDF workbook is included for use after class.

* This class is taught in Pacific Time Zone (PST) and will have sessions offered in June/July 2024. Please feel free to request your preferred time!
