Learn Together, Grow Together
Join our collaborative financial learning community where knowledge flows freely between peers, mentors guide your journey, and real projects bring theory to life. Starting August 2025, discover how collective wisdom accelerates individual growth.
Study Circles That Actually Work
Traditional lectures don't stick—but discussions with peers do. Our small learning circles bring together 8-12 participants who tackle financial challenges collaboratively. You'll find yourself explaining concepts one moment and asking questions the next, which research shows is exactly how lasting learning happens.
Weekly Deep Dives
Each week focuses on one core area—budgeting, investments, business planning—with plenty of time for questions.
Peer Problem-Solving
Bring real financial dilemmas from your life. The group helps brainstorm solutions using course principles.
Accountability Partners
Get matched with a learning buddy who checks in on your progress and celebrates wins with you.
Resource Sharing
Discover books, tools, and strategies that worked for others facing similar financial goals.
Mentors Who've Been There
Learning from textbooks is one thing—learning from someone who's navigated real financial ups and downs is entirely different. Our mentor network includes professionals who remember what it was like to feel overwhelmed by financial jargon and complex business decisions.

Real Projects, Real Results
Theory becomes practice through collaborative projects that mirror actual business and financial planning challenges. Working in teams, you'll tackle scenarios that feel genuine because they're based on real situations our alumni have faced.
Business Budget Challenge
Teams receive a fictional small business with real financial data. You'll identify cash flow problems, propose solutions, and present recommendations. Past teams have uncovered insights that surprise even experienced business owners.
Investment Portfolio Design
Working with hypothetical client profiles, teams research and design investment strategies. You'll defend your choices, learn about risk tolerance, and discover how different approaches serve different life stages.
Growth Planning Capstone
The final project combines everything you've learned. Teams develop comprehensive financial growth plans for businesses at different stages—startup, expansion, or restructuring. Local business owners often attend final presentations.
