eifle-financial-literacy-award.jpgAn important precursor to financial literacy courses, the material helps teens identify their personal financial patterns, how these affect their goals and relationships, and ways to use this knowledge to be more successful. The personal finance curriculum won a 2012 Excellence in Financial Literacy Education Award from the Institute for Financial Literacy.

In the introductory lessons, teens explore the many roles that money plays in their lives. Group activities highlight why understanding money, both technically and emotionally, is so essential.

A key focus of the program is on understanding the widely differing ways in which people behave around money. Teens examine the powerful symbolism of money – as a sign of power, status, love, security, independence, spontaneity, loyalty and more. Guided discussions also reveal how different behaviors reflect the influence of family, media, culture, and life events.

Using the award-winning Money Habitudes™ card game, teens discover their individual financial style, along with its advantages and challenges. This non-judgmental approach helps them manage their financial concerns in productive ways. Finally, teens learn to use the SMART model for building success in setting and attaining personal goals.
