HarborOne U developed a fun and interactive curriculum utilizing the game-based learning platform, Kahoot! to engage students as we dive into the concepts of saving, budgeting and credit. This 1-hour program is designed for groups of 15-200 and can be delivered in person or virtually. Students will need access to a Smartphone, laptop or tablet to participate in the Kahoot!  For virtual presentations, it is ideal for students to use two devices, one for the Zoom and a second for the Kahoot! 

This online curriculum equips young people with important information from analyzing paychecks and budgeting to understanding credit scores, credit cards and student loans. The FitMoney course consists of five modules and twelve short videos which can be completed independently. Upon completion, students who score a 80% or higher will receive their Financially Fit certification to apply to future applications, job opportunities, and profiles. Fit Money is free and HarborOne’s Organization code is 98422.

Credit for Life empowers students to take responsibility for their financial future. They learn the real-life budgeting and money management skills they will use throughout their lifetime. Students choose a profession, are assigned monthly take-home salaries and navigate 10 checkpoints to make "purchases" utilizing imaginary cash, credit or savings. The goal? To learn to live within a budget. This program can be done in a classroom or larger school event. HarborOne’s School Access Code is 283135.
