Pockets Change, Non-Profit

Pockets Change is a hybrid organization (s-corp and non-profit 501c3) working with K-12 districts, colleges, and other community organizations across the country. πŸ“š Our mission is to build intergenerational financial resilience with students, families, and educators. We believe financial education is about much more than numbers, it’s a means for self-care and social justice. It all happens through Hip Hop pedagogy, which focuses on understanding self-identity in relation to the whole. Together we are working to address systemic issues of educational equity and the racial wealth divide.
