In today's rapidly changing economy, financial literacy has never been more urgent.


But it's not just about managing money; it's about preparing young people for an economy that rewards problem solvers, creators, and those who turn ideas into value.


Money Power Playbook was created to bridge that gap.


Our Approach:

Focus on skills fundamental to financial empowerment: making sound financial decisions and thinking and creating like an entrepreneur.

The Student Experience:

Design engaging learning experiences that are relevant to their world and spark their curiosity.



Educator Resources:

Provide plug-and-play, standards-aligned lessons that integrate seamlessly into any financial literacy program.



Money Power P.L.A.Y.

Financial Decision-Making


Money choices start early. The money decisions young people make today can shape the habits they carry into adulthood. Deciding how to use money often involves hype, uncertainty, and incomplete information, which can sometimes lead to impulsive moves. 

Money Power P.L.A.Y., our financial decision-making framework, helps students practice asking better questions, explore options, weigh trade-offs, and explain their choices.


Working in teams, they solve story-based financial dilemmas on topics such as peer pressure, digital spending, delayed gratification, and scam offers.

VENTURE C.R.E.A.T.E

Think and Create Like an Entrepreneur


Not every student will become an entrepreneur, but every student can benefit from learning to think and create like one.


Today’s fastest-growing fields, from health care to clean tech to jobs that don’t exist yet.  Middle school students are entering an economy that rewards innovators and changemakers who can create value amid uncertainty, not just follow procedures. Job titles will keep changing. Opportunity recognition, problem solving, resilience, and clear communication won’t.


Venture C.R.E.A.T.E. helps students develop entrepreneurial thinking and essential 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication.


Through our C.R.E.A.T.E. framework, students identify problems, explore solutions and build prototypes using questioning, design thinking, creativity, AI and other digital tools.


The program runs in two formats: 20-minute sprints and 90-minute labs.


How the Money Power Playbook Fits Your Program

MIDDLE SCHOOLS

Middle school schedules vary, so Money Power Playbook adapts to fit different time blocks. Teachers can run 20-minute Money Power P.L.A.Y. and Venture c.r.e.a.t.e. sprints during Financial Education or Economics classes. For extended block schedules, teachers can run the extended 90-minute lab.

YOUTH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Parents increasingly expect youth community organizations to provide financial education for their children. Our programs offers flexible, ready-to-use programs that help these organizations fulfill their financial literacy commitment to youth.

YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS

Money Power Playbook turns financial decision-making into a team sport. Our programs and challenges are designed to fit inside a practice arrival gap, a water break, or a post-game huddle. Coaches or Parent Volunteers can run these challenges from their phones or tablets with zero prep.
