OneUp Financial Education
OneUp Financial Education was founded in 2021 by Rajan Kaushek, the president and founder of the Menlo School Investing Team, to tackle a growing problem: 81% of Generation Z lacks basic financial literacy. This gap in knowledge highlights the urgent need to provide young people with the tools to make smart, informed decisions about money.
Our mission is to turn essential financial concepts into accessible, engaging learning experiences for students. Through our core three-day workshop, we’ve graduated over 500 students. With the addition of one-day events and school-based programs, our total impact has reached more than 1,500 families.
We offer all of our programming at no cost to students, thanks to generous grant funding and community support. This ensures that financial education is never out of reach for any motivated learner. Our curriculum covers investing, budgeting, economic responsibility, and real-world financial decision-making, giving students the foundation they need to thrive.
OneUp is creating a new standard for youth financial education—practical, inclusive, and built to last.
