We Help Vermont Students Understand Finances
We believe that if teachers and parents have a better understanding of financial topics, they will be able to more effectively share that knowledge with the young people they instruct. Our website provides resources and tools that will assist in the presentation of financial concepts in the classroom or at home.
October Is Teen Teach-in Month!
Throughout the month of October, high school students are preparing lesson plans on personal finance and teaching those lessons to their younger elementary school peers in communities across America.
More than 50 teachers in 33 states have signed up for Jump$tart’s Teen Teach-in and have been preparing their students for their teaching debut.
About the Teen Teach-in
The Jump$tart Teen Teach-in offers high school students a way to demonstrate the financial knowledge they’ve gained and share it with their elementary school counterparts in a fun teaching and learning activity.
For high school students, the Teen Teach-in means they are turning the information they’ve learned into engaging financial empowerment lessons for their younger peers.
For elementary school students, this is a chance not just to receive an engaging lesson in financial concepts from “the big kids”—it’s a chance to learn about the basics of saving, spending, and budgeting for perhaps the first time.
