Empowering Students with Financial Confidence: Peachtree Planning Volunteers at Minding Your Money: Skills for Life™
At Peachtree Planning, we believe that financial education is one of the most powerful tools for creating confidence, independence, and long-term well-being. Recently, our team had the privilege of volunteering at the Minding Your Money: Skills for Life™ signature event at Benjamin Banneker High School in Atlanta.
Alongside our colleagues from Guardian and partners at Everfi, we spent the day engaging with students, empowering them with essential financial knowledge, and encouraging conversations about life skills that extend well beyond the classroom.
Minding Your Money is one of Guardian’s signature philanthropic programs and is offered free of charge to high schools across the country. The initiative provides interactive lessons designed to help students understand money management, financial planning, mental wellness, and healthy relationships—skills that form a foundation for success in both life and career.
During small group discussions, our volunteers connected with students as they shared their unique perspectives and stories about money, wellness, and personal growth. The conversations were honest, inspiring, and a reminder of how meaningful financial education can be in shaping confident futures.
“Hearing the students’ reflections on financial goals and challenges reminded me how early financial confidence can transform a person’s outlook on life. These young adults are learning not just how to manage money—but how to make empowered choices,” shared one Peachtree Planning volunteer.
We’re proud to be part of Guardian, a company that lives its purpose of inspiring well-being by investing in communities and fostering financial empowerment. This experience deepened our connection to that purpose and reinforced our belief in the power of volunteering and community engagement.
We extend a heartfelt thank-you to the students, educators, and fellow volunteers who made this event possible. Together, we’re building stronger, more financially confident communities—one conversation at a time.
