“A Different World in Finance”
Breadwinners Academy’s mission is to equip individuals and families from low-income communities with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to achieve financial stability and independence. Through comprehensive financial literacy programs and resources, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and create a future where all community members have the tools to make informed financial decisions, build assets, and secure a brighter financial future.
Books 2 Bread
Breadwinners Academy hosted a 5-week hands-on financial literacy workshop at John Carroll University in the summer of 2024. This hands-on financial literacy program is an extension of our existing financial literacy curriculum. This program will prepare each student for the next two stages in life and focuses on the financial hurdles students face leaving high school and college.

Saving & Budgeting
Saving & budgeting are your tools for financial growth. Budgeting provides direction, and saving turns plans into possibilities.
“Planning today protects tomorrow” -Jason Lockett Sr.
Banking
Partnering with a bank or credit union helps youth understand how to manage their money effectively. These relationships provide access to tools that secure their finances and promote smart decision-making. Financial institutions also offer personalized guidance to prepare them for future challenges. Early involvement empowers youth to achieve financial success.
Entrepreneurship
Dream Chasers is where ideas take flight, empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to turn visions into reality. From refining your idea to building a plan and executing it, entrepreneurship demands a combination of strategy, creativity, and action. Our program equips you with the skills needed in both the classroom and the real world to chase your dreams and make them soar.
