Where Tuition Goes
The Money Club.Org is a nonprofit summer program designed around learning, not upselling.
We share a simple budget breakdown so families can see how tuition supports instruction, materials, venue costs, insurance, and program operations. The goal is not to maximize profit. The goal is to run a thoughtful, well-supported program for students in a transparent and responsible way.

A small, thoughtful team focused on learning, mentorship, and real-world thinking
The Money Club.Org is led by adult program leadership and supported by a small group of carefully selected mentors. The goal is to create a structured, supervised environment where students can test ideas, collaborate with peers, and build confidence presenting their work.
Program Leadership
The Money Club.Org curriculum was designed by Jared Goldberg, a product strategist, educator, and writer whose experience spans retail, manufacturing, product development, and teaching.
His background includes work across Walmart, Loblaw, and Canadian Tire, along with more than 10 years of experience working with China-based manufacturing partners. His work has focused on design thinking, product strategy, communication, and hands-on learning — helping turn ideas into practical products, systems, and educational experiences.
The Money Club.Org brings that experience into a student setting, giving young people a clearer understanding of how ideas are developed, how products come to life, and how thoughtful design can turn problems into practical solutions.
University of Toronto Mentors
Students also work alongside University of Toronto mentors — near-peer role models studying fields such as education, economics, and business. These mentors help support project work, collaboration, and day-to-day learning while bringing energy and perspective to the classroom.
Supervised Learning Environment
The program runs at the UTSU Student Commons near the University of Toronto campus. Students work in a supervised classroom setting, receive structured guidance, and build their projects in a supportive small-group environment.
We believe young people learn best when they can connect ideas to the real world.
Instead of teaching financial literacy as an abstract topic, The Money Club.Org helps students understand how money, work, pricing, products, and decision-making function in practice. Through hands-on projects, students research problems, test ideas, build prototypes, and present their thinking clearly.
The goal is simple: help students become more capable, more confident, and more ready to contribute to the world around them.
