GlobalMindED & Shooting for Peace: Elevating Youth Financial Skills


GlobalMindED and Shooting for Peace share a vision: giving young people real tools to build financial independence. 


The Shooting for Peace App is a free, easy-to-use financial literacy source that provides courses on budgeting, saving, and smart money habits. Use this app with real dollars-and-cents guidance from former NBA star Jerome “JYD” Williams who was one of the keynotes last month at the GlobalMindED conference in June in Denver.


What the Shooting for Peace App Offers:


  • Interactive Money Lessons: Practical courses on budgeting, saving, and smart financial habits.


  • Tools & Resources: Built-in budgeting and saving tools.


  • Health & Wellness Lessons: Promoting holistic success.


  • STEM & Entrepreneurship Modules (Coming Soon): Expand your skill set for the future.


  • Bonus: Free digital copy of R.O.L.E Player by Jerome “JYD” Williams.


When students combine real-world opportunities with practical financial knowledge, they gain the confidence to manage money, build careers, and prepare for lasting success.
