Decision-making skills
Abstract money facts turn into real understanding — about debt, spending, insurance and saving for the future.
For foundations & funding partners

Experience money decisions before real life makes them expensive.
Journey of Money makes financial education for teenagers and young adults hands-on, interactive and age-appropriate.
- Real impact, not education buzzwords
- Equal opportunity through education
- Prevention that actually reaches young people
What your funding makes possible
One day where young people don't just hear about income, taxes, debt, insurance and building wealth — they play it out for themselves.
Over a hands-on, game-based day, they see what happens when you buy on credit, ignore risks or start saving too late. A teenager who has felt what a bad decision costs down the road makes smarter choices when it counts.
Why this project?
Because here, young people don't just listen — they make decision after decision.
Young people who've felt financial consequences firsthand go on to make more deliberate decisions about debt, spending, insurance and retirement. That's the difference between this and a lecture or a worksheet.
With your support, we bring financial education into schools and prepare young people for their financial future.Because financial education is an investment in our future.
Your leverage
Clearly measurable impact — not vague talk about education.
Prevention
We don't just fund knowledge — we help prevent expensive mistakes before they happen.
Equal opportunity
We reach every young person — with no budget required from the school. Your funding makes that possible.
Young people don't leave the project day with more facts. They leave with a whole new understanding of what money decisions really mean over time.
Two ways to partner
For foundations and for companies.
Foundations
Fund education. Open up opportunities.
You make workshops possible at schools that otherwise couldn't afford an outside program — transparent, pedagogically sound and built around participation.
- Funding for individual school projects or regions
- Clear use of funds: workshop, materials, delivery
- Impact for young people with little access to financial education
Companies
CSR with real impact.
Social responsibility and talent development in one: you build initiative, problem-solving and economic thinking in the people who'll enter your industry tomorrow.
- Visible social impact at local schools
- Financial education, entrepreneurship and future skills combined
- A format that inspires young people — instead of lecturing them

For schools
What your school needs for a game day.
Not much, honestly. For the day to run smoothly, a few things should be in place on site.
Group
Up to 60 young people, grade 9 and up. One class, several courses or a whole grade level — we plan it together.
Time
A full school day, roughly 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. — or folded into a project week.
Technology
One tablet or PC per participant, power for all devices, plus a room with a projector or large screen and stable Wi-Fi.
Supervision
A teacher stays in the room during the event. The school doesn't need to prepare any of the content.
Not sure this all fits your setup? You don't have to figure it out in advance. On a free intro call, we'll look at your situation together — group size, on-site tech and dates — and find the right format.
Partnership

We'll show you the program live in a short call, explain how the impact works and figure out what works for you.
