PROGRAMS
Wealth Achievers is a flagship, multi-year program within our Men on Purpose Framework, designed to integrate academic success, post-secondary planning, career readiness, financial education, and leadership development into one cohesive student experience.
THE FRAMEWORK
HEAD “HOW THEY THINK”
The second high level competency area in financial literacy involves what they know. So almost half of the program is geared toward boosting knowledge around key financial literacy topics (e.g., 6 financial muscles of banking, saving, budgeting, investing, etc.).
​
HEART “HOW THEY FEEL”
Emotions around money such as having over confidence or lack of confidence, fear, greed, Emotional Intelligence, and many other aspects impact how someone engages with financial literacy. Thus, a significant part of the program design includes components to impact “heart” related dimensions (e.g., mentoring relationships, trust building, risk taking, testimonials/sharing, etc).
​
HAND “WHAT THEY DO”
Our Wealth Achievers program design also relies heavily on experiential learning in order to impact the “head” and “heart” areas in regards to financial literacy. Exercises such as discussions on a field trip (e.g., Freedom Center), vision board, an account to manage, and table exercises are all included to leverage experience as a key learning methodology.
