After/ In School Programs


Empowering Students Beyond the Classroom

At The Difference Society, we believe every student deserves access to tools that prepare them for real-world success. Our After-School and In-School Programs bring financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and life skills directly to K-12 students in Washington, D.C. and Prince George’s County.

Through interactive lessons, hands-on projects, and mentorship, students gain practical knowledge they can apply right away whether it’s budgeting their first paycheck, launching a small business idea, or learning how to collaborate as a team.

What Students Experience

  • Financial Literacy: Money management, budgeting, and credit education tailored for youth.

  • Entrepreneurship: Turning ideas into ventures through business planning, pitching, and creative branding.

  • Life Skills: Communication, leadership, and decision-making that prepare students for school, career, and life.

  • Creative Enrichment: Art, music, and media projects that spark imagination and confidence.

The Impact of Our Programs

Our programs don’t stop at teaching skills they create lasting change:

  • 1,000+ students served through workshops, summer camps, and after-school programs.

  • 95% success rate of youth meeting program goals, from building savings plans to pitching business ideas.

  • Increased confidence: Students report feeling more capable in managing money and making decisions.

  • Community connections: Families and schools note stronger engagement, teamwork, and collaboration.

  • Pathways to opportunity: Many youth continue on to internships, higher education, or entrepreneurship.

Why It Matters

Our programs do more than keep students busy after the bell rings. They create safe spaces for youth to build economic awareness, practice teamwork, and develop leadership skills. Families, schools, and communities consistently share how these programs transform not only students’ confidence but also their future goals.
