Teaching Financial Literacy

Hi there!  I know I’ve been a little MIA (try a LOT MIA), but I want to give all my readers an update on what I’ve been doing the last 6 months!  I wrote and launched a COURSE with the help of Young Movement.

This was a 6-week pilot course through July and August with students from CUNY and Brooklyn College.  But don’t worry – I definitely plan to bring the knowledge to DollaThug.com fans so stay tuned!

My class was great!

Financial Literacy Class

Aren't we cute???

 

And I learned SO much while teaching.  My main goal was to create an environment where people could feel comfortable in asking questions about the oh-so-taboo topic of money and get a better understanding of money management and, most importantly, how to achieve financial goals and build wealth!

The goal is to take learnings from the pilot course and prove the need for a class like this – then receive funding to launch on a much larger scale.  Wish me luck!

You can check out more photos here!  Just call me Professor Dolla Thug…

Big shout outs to Young Movement: Micah, Odellia, Cory, Rob, and Brian.

Support the Young Movement Awards Event – December 15th!


Hi everyone!

I know, I know – I’ve been slacking on the blog.  BUT if you’re wondering where Dolla Thug has disappeared to for the last few months, I’ve been working on developing a Financial Literacy Course for Brooklyn College with Young Movement (a grass roots non-profit, focused on preparing young people with financial management skills and job readiness).  I do plan to bring the course to the website sometime in 2011, so stay tuned!

THE EVENT – get tickets here!
We’re having a fundraiser event next Wednesday night at Brooklyn’s Borough Hall to honor Ryan Mack from CNN and Huffington Post (please see below for details).  I’d really love your support, EVERY.LITTLE.BIT.HELPS.  You can purchase a ticket or donate whatever you can afford to give here.

Thanks for the support!
Dolla Thug

Our event is less than a week away!
We’re on our way to our goal…

Our goal is to raise $5,000 towards:
1. Launching a 12-week program at Brooklyn College in 2011 that comprehensively educates students on financial literacy.
2. Launching an interactive website that accommodates empirical reports, analysis & dialogue on pertinent issues.

IF A FEW MORE PEOPLE DONATE $50 WE’VE REACHED OUR GOAL!
