Can I request any program for my learners?
Yes, Financial Beginnings' curricula span the continuum from kindergarten through adulthood. While programs are geared toward specific age groups, hosts can select the program that is the best fit for their learners. Note: The adult programs, SAFE and Forward, need to be requested via email so our staff can offer a tailored response to your group's needs.
