FINANCIAL LITERACY (Grades K-12)
This group focuses on equipping youth with essential financial literacy skills.
Service Description
Build money confidence early! The Grounded Stars K–12 Financial Literacy Workshop gives young people practical, age-appropriate tools to understand money, make thoughtful financial decisions, and develop healthy habits that can support them throughout childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. This interactive workshop makes financial literacy engaging, relatable, and easy to understand. Participants explore real-life money concepts through age-appropriate discussions, activities, scenarios, games, and problem-solving challenges designed to connect financial skills to everyday life. Workshop topics may include: Creating a business plan Understanding money, income, and spending Needs vs. wants Budgeting and making spending plans Saving and setting financial goals Smart shopping and comparison shopping Understanding prices, discounts, and sales Banking basics and responsible money management Earning money through jobs, entrepreneurship, and career planning Understanding credit and debt Financial responsibility and decision-making Online shopping and digital financial safety Avoiding scams, fraud, and misleading financial offers Preparing for major future expenses College, career, and independent-living financial planning Building confidence around money and asking responsible financial questions Younger participants may focus on identifying money, recognizing needs and wants, saving, sharing, and making simple spending choices. Older youth will explore more advanced topics such as budgeting, banking, credit, employment income, financial independence, entrepreneurship, and planning for life after high school. Age-Appropriate Grouping: Participants will be grouped with their appropriate age group upon arrival and will remain with that age group throughout the workshop. Activities, examples, language, and discussions will be adjusted to support the developmental level of each group. The goal is not simply to teach young people how to “handle money.” It is to help them understand how financial choices connect to their goals, opportunities, independence, and future. Participants leave with practical knowledge they can begin using at home, at school, at work, and in their everyday lives. Workshops may be offered online and in person. Caregivers should carefully review the booking information and select the appropriate age/grade group when registering their youth.

To keep it that way, everyone must follow these important rules while participating in any class, workshop, or group session.

If you need to step away, you must tell the facilitator in chat or on camera before leaving. You can only be away for up to 10 minutes. If your camera is off and you ignore two reminders from the facilitator, you will be removed from the session for safety reasons.
