We want our students to have all the information they need to make well-informed decisions. This means asking questions. Over 89% of our students reported on evaluations that they felt comfortable asking GTA instructors for more explanation when they didn't understand something.

We teach skills student can use immediately, to make decisions about money and their goals. Traditional financial literacy might teach how to save for retirement. This is a great skill, but not useful to a 17 year old today. We teach skills for now, that build long-term habits.

GTA is not only a program to learn strategic thinking, but a place to meet people from other places. This spring students from the United States, Ghana and Nicaragua, participated in our classes.

Our instructors lead an activity where students choose between a $10 Starbucks and $15 Amazon gift card. In one of our spring groups, many students chose the Starbucks gift card. Why? They said they cared more about their preference for a Starbucks treat than a dollar amount.

Don’t earn enough to file? You may still be eligible for refundable credits that result in a refund from the #IRS —but the only way to get a refund is to file a tax return. Consider #IRSFreeFile—it’s safe, easy and free. go.usa.gov/xu2He

There's no one reason to take a class about money. From the student who wants to be money savvy in college to those who have a hunch this will be useful, all are welcome at GTA!
