Overview

Money Moves Academy is an 8-week, 72-hour program that equips youth and young adults with the tools they need to make informed decisions, build confidence, prepare for the workforce, develop leadership skills, and create a roadmap for their future.

Participants complete classroom instruction, homework assignments, Bronze Badge Challenges, guest speaker sessions, book-based learning, and personal planning activities. Each graduate develops a written and visual Personal Wealth Plan outlining their goals, growth strategy, and roadmap for success.

Participants are paid for their participation. Every participant receives a $500 stipend upon completion of the program, with additional opportunities to earn compensation for each Bronze Badge Challenge they complete. This investment reinforces the real-world value of showing up, doing the work, and following through — core principles of the Academy.
