MBK Cincinnati’s mission is to close the wealth gap by educating and empowering every boy and young man of color within its region one individual at a time.
MBK Cincinnati Vision is for every boy and young man of color within our region to have equal access to wealth creation.
Our Wealth Achievers' program will consist of three components - Heart (i.e., how they feel), Head (i.e., how they think), and Hands (i.e., what they do).
HEART - Emotions around money such as having over confidence or lack of confidence, fear, greed, Emotional Intelligence, and many other aspects impact how someone engages with financial literacy. Thus, a significant part of the program design includes components to impact "heart" related dimensions (e.g., networking, trust building, risk taking, testimonials/sharing, etc).
HEAD - The second high level competency area in financial literacy involves what they know. So, this part of the program is geared toward boosting knowledge around key financial literacy topics (e.g., earning, saving, investing, etc.).
HANDS - Our Wealth Achievers program design also relies heavily on experiential learning in order to impact the "head" and "heart" areas in regards to financial literacy. Exercises such as discussions on a field trip (e.g., Freedom Center), vision board, and table exercises are all included to leverage experience as a key learning methodology.
We are partnering with Cincinnati Public High Schools with a target of reaching 100 boys of color.
