Redefining Financial Education
Financial literacy is a cornerstone of lifelong success, yet 80% of students graduate without the knowledge or skills to confidently manage their money. Our team recognized this urgent gap and created an innovative approach to empower young people with practical, engaging, and relevant financial education. By transforming what is often seen as a complex or intimidating subject into an accessible and dynamic learning experience, we are redefining how the next generation learns about money and builds critical life skills.

Scaling Through AI
To overcome the limitations of in-person workshops, we are expanding into AI-powered learning through platforms like Synthesia. This technology allows us to scale financial literacy education by creating personalized, high-quality video workshops that are available anytime, anywhere. Synthesia’s features, such as multilingual voiceovers, customizable presenters, and interactive video elements, not only make learning more engaging but also ensure accessibility across diverse communities. For partners and educators, this means we can deliver consistent, cost-effective workshops that meet students where they are and break down barriers to financial empowerment.
Building The Future Of Financial Literacy
Looking ahead, we are developing an all-in-one app designed to gamify financial basics and provide ongoing support for students. This platform will allow users to track spending habits, monitor their credit score, receive personalized financial advice, and learn through interactive challenges and rewards. By combining technology, gamification, and practical education, we are building more than just a learning tool. We’re creating a digital ecosystem that equips young people with the confidence and skills to take control of their financial futures.
partnering with local post secondary institutions
Square One plans to expand its reach by establishing new branches at other universities, creating a network of student-led teams that can engage with high school students in their respective local communities. By replicating the Square One model across campuses, we aim to empower even more youth with financial literacy, entrepreneurial thinking, and practical life skills. Each new branch will not only strengthen our collective impact but also adapt programming to the unique needs of their surrounding high school communities, ensuring that Square One continues to foster meaningful change and prepare the next generation for success.
