About this opportunity
Youreka FAST, officially branded F@ST, is a 7-hour gamified financial literacy simulation for students in grades 10 to 12, delivered online or in school, typically as facilitator-led sessions over two days via Zoom.
Teams simulate different family financial situations across a 15-year journey, working through budgeting decisions, long-term financial goal-setting, investment management and crisis handling. Facilitators guide participants through the consequences of their financial choices in real time.
The program aims to build financial literacy, a life skill Youreka identifies as among the least taught yet most necessary for managing personal and organizational money responsibly. Schools book the session directly with Youreka for a chosen student cohort.
