Twelve Points Academy is a non-profit educational organization that offers programs and courses related to financial topics, ranging from the basics of financial literacy to advanced market concepts.
Our program combines Twelve Points’ financial experience with our focus on value-driven hospitality as a way to educate a variety of diverse communities, prepare future generations, and re-shape financial education to include not only the pillars of finance but also to incorporate the significant role that values play in our financial–and non-financial–lives.
Twelve Points Academy believes we can bridge the gap between financial education and students. By integrating our financial expertise, paired with our values-based approach, into schools, non-profit organizations, and other institutions we seek to empower all communities by giving them the tools to accumulate wealth and build financially sustainable lives.
The TPA Bryant University Chapter consists of a group of enthusiastic members who are passionate about giving back to our community and committed to advancing financial literacy.
Specifically catered towards elementary and middle schools, our Chapter program includes various interactive learning materials that work to build good financial habits in students.
Whether through in-class workshops, school-wide events pre-recorded educational videos, or other learning methods, our Chapter of dedicated members seeks to deliver financial education to various communities to ensure individuals possess the knowledge to build financially sustainable lives and lead a life of financial freedom.
Our program adheres to the Rhode Island Financial Literacy Standards and teaches from the Rhode Island Department of Education recommended National Standards for Personal Financial Education curriculum.
In addition, our program incorporates the FDIC’s Money Smart for Young People curriculum recommended by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. We emphasize six financial education concepts that are important in establishing and improving financial literacy in students. These concepts include:
At Twelve Points Academy, we strive to instill solid financial habits into young adult athletes at an early age so they can live a long-term life without financial hardship.
Shifting young adults’ mindsets to focusing on their values as human beings first, structuring short and long-term goals based on those values, and then simply looking at money as an avenue to achieve their goals. We at Twelve Points believe that these student-athletes deserve to gain financial safety early in their life in order to pursue financial freedom when their athletics career is over.
After recognizing that over 70% of professional athletes fall into financial hardship after they retire, we strongly believe that this is an area that needs to be served, and we at Twelve Points believe that these young adults deserve this education completely free of charge.
Through this five-class program, athletes will not only be subject to financial education but will also be equipped with actionable steps forward in order to brighten their financial future.
Student-athletes will gain skills ranging from understanding what a 401k is to how to start funding your emergency savings account NOW. Through this action-based program that is focused on a wide array of financial skills, Twelve Points Academy Athletes feel more clarity and confidence in their financial picture than they ever had before when going into the real world.
