FitKit Express Community Programs
The FitKit Express delivers financial literacy education to those who stand to benefit the most from economic education in the larger community. It is an offshoot of the FitKit curriculum that is catered toward vulnerable populations outside the school system. FitKit Express programs are designed to be conversations with the community, highly customizable, sponsorable and co-brandable. Additionally, Express Programs can be developed to target the needs of specific populations such as women, single parents, African American, Urban Communities and Spanish speaking.
The FitKit Express is a condensed, 6-hour version of the original FitKit tailored to fit the specific needs of men and women living in poverty or are otherwise at risk thereof, and relate to the mindset, history, values, and challenges of those specific communities.
The FitKit Express Program includes: a presenter’s guide, learner’s workbook, PowerPoint presentations, discussion slides and videos that accompany each module. It is made up of eight 45-minute discussions there are three sets of videos for each discussion.
It is important here to note the significance of the FitKit Express being sponsored and adopted by community engagers and to be taken to their individual communities. Such localization of the efforts allows for the customization of the content for the need of the local community along with the specific resources available to them that can be incorporated into the program.
Target populations for Express programs include fledgling individuals that are in life’s transitions or those that would otherwise be left out of the economic system altogether, as well as other vulnerable groups such as minorities, youth outside of the school system and single parents.
