Teach financial literacy classes to elementary school students
Children living below the NPPS often do not have exposure to financial education, inhibiting the development of long-term savings and planning.
Incorporate financial literacy programming into your curriculum, teaching young students how to develop skills and habits with lifelong impact.
To get started:
Develop age-appropriate financial management lesson plans that can be administered in stand-alone workshops, worked into larger school or program curriculum, or geared for students to become peer-to-peer financial educators.
Create materials to utilize at after-school programs, summer camps, community centers, or local public libraries.
Best Practices/Innovative Programs
The National Financial Educators Council (NFEC) provides a financial literacy curriculum focusing on children's unique educational needs.
