OUR PROGRAMS
YES challenges students to learn and practice consistent savings habits; to establish long-term financial discipline; and to plan for the future. Through program partnerships with schools and other youth-focused organizations, YES implements project-based educational and enrichment activities. Our four core initiatives are offered as part of our KidSMART 360 In Schools.
360 VIRTUAL SERIES
Each program is offered remotely as a 6-12 session series. The project-based series provides the excitement and engagement of learning the 5 Money Pillars and provide a fun challenge. The series is offered to youth-focused organizations, in schools, afters schools, summer camps and NOW as a club. Inquire here about how you can have the series implemented.

I was so pleased that my daughter had this financial opportunity and experience to "play" with a real budget. I know she got a LOT out of it (not to mention having a really good time!) I told her that she had just put more thought into her "play" budget that day than, sadly, most adults do with their REAL budgets. I'm very grateful that the program could provide her with such an important, real life, extremely applicable learning experience that, I believe, impacted her greatly. And could very well help her start out on solid ground when it comes to managing her own budget some day. I strongly believe ALL our kids (and probably most the adults) need to go through this very same exercise.
