Financial Literacy Program for Parents, Schools, Homeschool Families & Educational Groups
Big Ideas Today. Brighter Futures for yEARS Ahead!
Built around the children's book Ride Rabbit Ride, yEARS Ahead! is a financial literacy companion program that helps children ages 8–12 explore money, business, and entrepreneurship through storytelling and hands-on learning.
In Ride Rabbit Ride, Worth A. Fortune discovers that turning an idea into reality takes more than imagination. Along the way, he learns about earning, saving, borrowing, interest, budgeting, investing, business ownership, and making smart financial decisions.
With yEARS Ahead!, the adventure continues beyond the book.
