Past events
Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, our story begins with people: the teachers, parents, students, community leaders, and everyday workers who asked simple but powerful questions: How do we make money work for our lives, not the other way around? How do we pass financial knowledge forward so it lasts?
From our first workshops in neighborhood classrooms to national classrooms and online forums, Financial Literacy Diaries has grown by listening. Each program, lesson, and resource started from a real conversation about real needs: a parent balancing bills and college savings, a high school teacher seeking classroom-ready materials, a frontline worker planning for retirement. Those stories shaped our curriculum, informed our research, and kept our work anchored in practical outcomes rather than flashy promises.
We believe access is not optional. Financial education should be approachable, evidence-based, and free from hype. That conviction drives our open-access resources, narrative-centered pedagogy, and the partnerships we pursue with schools, nonprofits, and public institutions. Bold thinking for us means reimagining who gets financial knowledge; thoughtful execution means creating lessons that are usable, culturally relevant, and grounded in the realities people face.
