About Us
BreadWinners is a financial literacy organization originally founded on UNCC’s campus. The purpose of the organization is to teach millennials about professional development, entrepreneurship and how to create true wealth for themselves. We teach college students this information and then have these college students go out into the community and pass on this information to middle and high school students economically empowering our community through knowledge share. We do this through fun and interactive games and activities that keep students active and engaged.
BreadWinners enlightens teenagers and young adults on the importance of managing their money, finding their skill sets, and pursuing their passions. We help these young adults gain a true understanding of the value of money and their own skill sets, and show them how these two things can be used in order to improve today’s community and generations to come.
We strive to create more financially informed adults and a more self-sustaining economy.
