Become an FPU Coordinator

Families will go from panicking over bills and debt to feeling confident in their financial futures—because of your class.

Lead a Class

You don’t have to be a financial expert. You don’t even have to be debt-free. And you definitely don’t need to know all the answers. (Or even what Dave would say on The Ramsey Show.)

Here’s what we’re looking for from you:

You’re on fire to help people.
You know our money plan works.
You’ve got a little time to spare.

It’s that simple! If you’ve got those three things covered, we’ll help with the rest.

You can design your class to fit right into your life. Lead at your church, host at home, or start a group at a local coffee shop—it’s up to you!

Set up your FPU class.

Pro tip: Pick a class start date and time before setup.
Promote your class.

We’ll help you out with lots of free promo materials!
Show up—it’s go time!

Get ready to go scissor-crazy on some credit cards.

Lead a Class

You're joining our coordinator team—that's a big deal! We'll give you everything you need to walk through your class from setup to wrap-up so you can focus on what you do best—helping people transform their lives.

Here's what our coordinators have to say.

“[FPU members] want a better life . . . and as a coordinator, you’re able to sit there and say, ‘There is a better life and let’s work towards it.’”

“[FPU is] the best ministry I get to be a part of.”

“We love to continue attending or leading classes to keep us accountable!”

“Coordinating is an outlet to share my passion. Our life has been so much more peaceful . . . because we do believe in FPU.”

“I like to teach, and it was something that I really believed in. I’ve lost money in just about every way you can imagine listening to other people. But the thing that really impressed me was when Dave said, 'You can get mad at me for saying this, but this is not what I’m saying, this is what God says.'"

“I lead FPU to help others learn how to manage their money and to restore their hope . . . I love being able to be an instrument in God’s plan to help others in that same way.”

Let's talk!

Got more questions? Check here first.

How much does it cost to lead a class?: You don’t have to pay a dime! Hey, you’re giving your time—that’s more than enough! We even include all the materials you need from promo graphics to a digital Coordinator Guide.
Do I need special training to lead FPU?: Nope! You don’t have to be debt free or be on Baby Step 7 . . . you don’t even need to be an FPU graduate. As long as you’re passionate about following the plan, you’re good to go!

If you’re looking for support in your coordinator journey, don’t worry—you’ll get plenty of that! You’ll have a dedicated advisor who’ll answer questions and guide you through your class. You’ll also get access to tips and helpful videos in your Coordinator Dashboard. If you want even more support, you can join our online Facebook community just for coordinators!
Do coordinators get paid?: FPU Coordinators are volunteers with a passion for helping others learn how to win with money. But while they aren’t paid, they do receive special perks—like a free year of Ramsey+, exclusive access to events and more!
How long is the class and what is the weekly time commitment?: Financial Peace University is a nine-lesson course. Each class lasts between 45-90 minutes, depending on the format you use. (Flex classes watch the lesson before class time.) Typically, classes meet once a week for each lesson.
What are the different types of class formats?: Virtual Class

Time: 45 minutes

Location: Online (video conferencing tool, like Zoom, required)

Watch Videos: On your own

Gather: For activities & discussion

Flex Class

Time: 45 minutes

Location: Anywhere

Watch Videos: On your own

Gather: For activities & discussion

Traditional Class

Time: 90 minutes

Location: Anywhere with AV equipment

Watch Videos: In class

Gather: For activities & discussion
Where can I host the class?: That’s up to you! Get everybody together at a park on summer nights, book a cozy back room at a local coffee shop or round up every chair and rickety stool in your house and crowd into the living room! There aren’t any rules—just do what sounds fun!
Can someone else lead with me?: Sure thing! It doesn’t have to be your spouse—anyone can co-lead with you. Your pal from work . . . your pet parrot . . . you pick!
How many people are required to be in my group?: You just need one person to be a complete class. Because that one person represents a lifetime legacy of life change—and that’s worth it. If you’re still antsy for some numbers, the average group size we see is about seven people.
How do people join my class?: Your class will have its own webpage with a private link! All you have to do is share the link with anyone who wants to join. Or you can open your class to the public and people will find your webpage right on our website, RamseySolutions.com. Keep in mind, your class won’t fill itself! You will need to spread the word, but we’ll give you a whole page of posters, social media posts and other cool, techy stuff to help out!
Can I lead a class if I’ve never taken FPU?: Absolutely. Actually, 40% of coordinators take the class for the first time while leading it. Think of it like leading a small group—you can study with the group and facilitate at the same time!
What do class members need?: Each family in your class will need to buy Financial Peace University, and they can do that right from your class link in the online Coordinator Dashboard. Once they make that purchase and create an account, they’ll instantly have access to all the lessons and a digital member workbook! It’s that easy.
Can someone attend my class without a paid membership?: Every household needs to buy FPU to attend the class. But if you or your church would like to pay for some members’ access as a scholarship, that’s totally fine. Hey—we even encourage it!
Do I teach the material in FPU?: Don’t stress—you’re a coordinator, not a teacher. Your job is to facilitate discussion, which is easy when you follow along on your free, virtual coordinator guide! (You’ll find that in your Coordinator Dashboard.)
Do I have to be debt-free to lead?: Definitely not. What matters to us is your heart—your why for leading. If you’re planning to secretly teach that credit cards are the secret to success or that Bitcoin is the best retirement plan out there . . . yeah, you’re probably not a good fit as an FPU Coordinator. But if you’re working the Baby Steps yourself and encouraging other people to do the same, you’re exactly the coordinator we’re looking for.

Here’s what we’re looking for from you:

Set up your FPU class.

Promote your class.

Show up—it’s go time!
