Our Programs

The FLY Academy Program

IMG_3091.jpg

The FLY Academy is focused on teaching youth financial literacy through hands-on, interactive activities covering budgeting, saving, credit, investing, and entrepreneurship. Rather than learning through lectures, kids build real financial confidence by doing — making decisions, solving problems, and practicing the skills that turn knowledge into lasting habits.

The FLY  Scholarship Program

Through our scholarship program, The FLY Foundation has awarded over $50,000 to youth working toward their educational and financial goals. These scholarships reflect our mission to change the generational narrative about finances — not just by teaching financial literacy, but by directly investing in the next generation's future, one child, one family, and one lesson at a time.

The FLY Beyond Academy

FLY BEYOND extends financial literacy learning into the household, equipping parents with simple conversation guides, family money rituals, and their own on-ramp to financial confidence — so they can model and reinforce what their children are learning at FLY Academy. Where FLY Academy builds the child's skills, FLY BEYOND builds the family culture around them, turning financial literacy into a sustainable, everyday household practice rather than a one-time lesson.

The FLY Health and Wellness Program

FLY's Health & Wellness pillar recognizes that money stress and physical/emotional wellbeing are deeply connected — you can't build lasting financial confidence without also building self-care and emotional resilience. Through FLY ACADEMY, youth engage in activities that link healthy habits to healthy money habits, teaching self-regulation, stress management, and confidence-building alongside budgeting and saving, so kids grow into young people who are financially capable and emotionally grounded.

"Ms. Weaver provided

services; unlike any other vendor we had used before. Her sessions continuously engaged our students, and her workshops had our highest participation rate that year. The most surprising and rewarding aspect of our experience was after the workshop series, where Ms. Weaver extended the option for our students to apply for a scholarship.

Ms. Weaver is genuinely passionate about her mission, goes above and beyond her advertised services, and is highly professional in her work ethic."

“Tee Weaver breaks down how to meet financial goals, prepare for college, home buying and change the generational narrative about finances. Our students love her courses.”

Financial Literacy Is The Greatest Gift Of All

June 18, 2018

Financial literacy is comparable to learning classes in school. It involves learning concepts and applying specific strategies to take you through life. Financial literacy is the understanding of money such as taxes, savings, bills, retirement, budgeting and paying for school and investing. A study by the FINRA Foundation estimated that nearly two-thirds of Americans couldn’t pass a basic financial literacy test. According to the study, Americans have low levels of financial literacy and have difficulty applying financial decision-making skills to real-life situations. What children need is strong communities to help  bridge the gap between novice and expert in knowledge of financial literacy.
