FiWe, which stands for Financial Wellness, offers uniquely designed financial literacy resources to schools to prepare students for real-life financial decisions. Our programs are filled with tactile, hands-on activities that engage students deeply—a unique feature that sets FiWe apart from other programs.

For schools looking for a comprehensive, year-long curriculum, our Pillar Programs offer a complete financial literacy experience. For schools facing time constraints and seeking shorter-term solutions, FiWe provides the flexibility to select specific lessons from our Pillar Programs or choose one of our enrichment courses.
