The Money Club.Org
A system that sustains itself
The Money Club.Org is a closed-loop economic engine — built to create jobs, not just ideas.
We activate community-led initiatives using real-world design thinking: identifying problems, stress-testing solutions, and launching projects with real accountability.
No grants. No gimmicks. It’s self-funded, radically transparent, and powered by one core mission: 📖 Open-book financial reporting — so every participant sees exactly how money works.
This isn’t theory. It’s practice.
And it’s how the next generation learns to lead with clarity, confidence, and capital.
At its core, The Money Club.Org runs on a simple flywheel — one designed to keep quality high, incentives aligned, and outcomes real.
Student Leadership, Real Responsibility
The Money Club.Org is supported day-to-day by its student leadership team: Sarah Duong and Alex Goldberg (Humberside Collegiate Institute). They take on real work—within a clear structure and under adult oversight—because operating a system is the fastest way to learn how it works.
They help with real tasks such as gathering quotes, building familiarity with the program budget, supporting instructor outreach, and contributing to marketing and enrollment.
During the summer program, Sarah and Alex support daily operations by helping coordinate schedules and logistics so sessions run smoothly. They work inside real constraints and follow through on execution—with supervision and final accountability held by program leadership.
This is intentional. The Money Club.Org teaches how real organizations function: planning, trade-offs, and follow-through. Sarah and Alex represent the model in action—learning by operating and building practical capability before university.
Paid University Mentors
University of Toronto students are hired and paid as instructors and mentors. They lead workshops within a structured, supervised program—helping students learn how real decisions get made inside real budgets and constraints.
The Program Architect
The Money Club.Org was designed and is overseen by Jared Goldberg — a product strategist, systems designer, and educator with 15+ years building and operating real-world business platforms.
Jared has worked across Walmart, Loblaw, and Canadian Tire, and spent over a decade inside China-based manufacturing ecosystems, where cost, quality, incentives, and execution collide in real time. His work sits at the intersection of economics, incentives, design thinking, and human behavior.
This program reflects how organizations actually function—constraints, trade-offs, and accountability—not how they’re described in textbooks.
Durability Over Growth
The Money Club.Org is intentionally self-sustaining.
That means:
- Instructors are paid
- Standards stay high
- Cohorts stay small
- Outcomes stay real
Tuition keeps the program accountable, sustainable, independent, and focused on results—not scale for its own sake.
Where This Leads
Today, The Money Club.Org runs as:
- Small local cohorts
- Earned-revenue pilots
- Carefully managed programs
Over time, demonstrated results can enable:
- Sponsorships
- Grants
- Institutional partnerships
But scale comes after proof — not before.
