Your expertise could
be a kid's turning point.
Finance professionals, entrepreneurs, bankers, and business leaders volunteer weekly to bring real-world experience into FL4KID$ classrooms. No teaching background required — just your story and an hour a week.
Kids can't aspire to what they've never seen up close
A guest speaker is a moment. A mentor is a model — proof that someone who looks like them, or started where they started, built a career in finance, business, or entrepreneurship.
Most students in our partner schools have never had a sustained relationship with a finance or business professional. Mentors change that — not through a single visit, but through consistent, weekly presence over a full 10-week program.

"It's one hour a week. It matters more than that."
"I work in finance downtown. Once a week I drive to Oakland and spend an hour with a classroom of 6th graders talking about stocks. Last month a kid told me he wants my job someday. I didn't know what to say. I just said, 'Then let's get started.'"
One hour a week. A lifetime of impact.
No teaching experience needed — just your story and a willingness to show up.
