About Us
DYN At a Glance
DYN (Discover Yourself Now) Education is an innovative non-profit that created an evidence-based approach to help kids break free from self-limiting beliefs and realize their true potential using an individualized intervention design. Our unique approach was masterfully created by leading professionals in the field of health, medicine, mindfulness, financial literacy, and education. DYN Education has coined this multi-disciplined, holistic curriculum as:
Financial Literacy “Plus” Education
Our student-centered approach focuses on the development of specific skills embedded in the dimensions of health, supports self-actualization, and includes social-emotional intelligence, financial literacy, emotional well-being, and coping skills.
Social-Emotional Intelligence
Financial Literacy
Emotional Well-Being
Coping Skills
Our History
Discover Yourself Now began to take shape when a group of educators saw an ever-growing need to fill the gap in two program areas; Social Emotional Learning and Financial Literacy. After spending nearly a year developing the foundation of our program, Discover Yourself Now began “pilot” programs with youth groups in California and Arizona. When Covid shut the country and our schools down in 2020, the team at DYN Education took this time to research, test, write, and rewrite what became an evidence-based, 20-hour, 4-module curriculum. DYN’s program equitably engages students and uses their natural curiosity to break self-limiting beliefs, open minds to envision a life of meaning and purpose based on their passion, and teach the financial skills needed to begin creating generational wealth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does DYN work with a specific age group?
Our curriculum was written with middle school-aged learners in mind. However, the content can be modified to be age appropriate for high school and adult classes.
Do students have to qualify to take the DYN classes?
No. DYN’s goal is to break self-limiting beliefs and instill confidence in all learners. If there are student populations with specific learning or other disabilities, we can work with specialized instructors to meet their needs.
Does DYN involve families?
We love it when an organization wants to have parents and guardians participate in the program with their kids! However, this is not a requirement, and in fact the majority of the time we are working with kids who then become the “educators” of their families.
How long is your program?
The total time of the curriculum is approximately 20 hours. This can be done in the course of one week, or spread out over several weeks.
What size groups do you work with?
Our workshops work best with groups of 10 to 30.
Does your curriculum align with national standards?
Yes. The DYN curriculum is a research-based curriculum written by a credentialed educator. We align with financial literacy standards and math standards.
How much does it cost?
The cost of our programs vary depending on the number of students, location, internal requirements etc. Contact us today to start developing a plan with specific costs.
Can companies get their employees involved in DYN as part of corporate community giving?
Yes! Companies who sponsor workshops can have their employees assist our facilitators. We will train them and provide certificates your employees can display. Additionally, we will post photos and stories of your employees working with our DYN students on our website and various social media platforms.
