Make a difference locally!
Organizations and individuals can make great impact at the local level. Here are
just a few ways that you can make a difference:
- Financial Institutions:
Volunteer to work with a local school or district to provide classroom
presentations or teacher support.
- Educators: Incorporate
personal finance within your curriculum. Personal finance has been taught
successfully to students of all ages and within many core and elective
subjects. For more resources, go to Clearinghouse and search according to your
grade and subject matter.
- Policy Makers: Consider
ways to incorporate personal finance education into your school's curriculum
and teacher professional development programs. Remember, too, that you need
not reinvent the wheel. The National Jump$tart Coalition can help you identify
successful models. For more information, e-mail
info@jumpstart.org
or call 1-888-45EDUCATE.
- Parents: Begin teaching
your child about personal finance at a young age and continue to reinforce
these skills. See the Links section or visit the Clearinghouse for more ideas
on teaching your child about personal finance matters.
