See Your Dollar Academy is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth, parents, and underserved communities with real-world financial literacy and values-based education.

We help young people and families understand how money works, how to think clearly about financial decisions, and how to build the discipline, character, and habits needed for long-term success.

Founded by Professor Gee, a New Orleans native who transformed his life through entrepreneurship and financial knowledge, See Your Dollar Academy was created to bridge the gap between the information communities need and the information they were never given.

THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Across many communities, people grow up without understanding:

Credit
Loans
Interest & inflation
Cash flow
Saving
Investing
Compound interest
Long-term planning

Parents are working hard, providing for their families — but don’t always have the time or structure to teach these skills consistently.

As a result, youth enter adulthood unprepared, confused, and unsure of where to start.

See Your Dollar Academy exists to fix that.

OUR TWO PILLARS OF EDUCATION

1. Financial Literacy — Understanding How Money Works

We break financial concepts down in a simple, visual, and easy-to-understand way using real-life examples and live demonstrations through the interactive website, SeeYourDollar.com.

Participants learn:

Budgeting & cash flow
Saving discipline
How fixed loans work
Amortization & principal/interest breakdown
Credit & credit-card payment predictions
Compound interest
Beginner investments
Wealth-building fundamentals
Real-life financial scenarios that they can calculate on their own

2. Values, Character, and Life Principles — Who You Become Determines How You Handle Money

Inspired by the book Generational Wealth: Rich from the Inside Out, we teach:

Discipline
Integrity
Accountability
Humility
Consistency
Gratitude
Logical & rational thinking
Comprehension & communication skills
Lifelong learning

Financial literacy gives people the tools.
Character gives them the foundation to use those tools wisely.
