Course Development
Thomas Feliz, co-founder and creator of The IMPAC Financial Literacy Program Adulting Unlocked, is an entrepreneur and dedicated father of four who developed this course initially with his own children in mind, at first just printing worksheets and giving them homework to complete. But during a lunch meeting shortly after - a suggestion to turn it into a self paced program from co-creator Curtis Pickering would change everything. Within no time ImpacFLP was born. This team is incredibly passionate about equipping young adults with the financial literacy and life skills they need to succeed.
