Economic
Education Curriculum
Realizing your Economic Action Plan (REAP): REAP is a comprehensive 12-hour, four
session, economic education curriculum specifically designed for women who
have experienced intimate partner violence.
Safety considerations are integrated throughout the core financial
information on budgeting, credit, banking, and investing. The curriculum also addresses issues of
oppression, our economy, and economic abuse.
The REAP curriculum outlines the information facilitators need for each
section and provides hands-on activities for participants. In the REAP classes, women use the
various activities to practice what they learn. These classes help make money management
less punitive, more fun, and more rewarding.
