OperationHOPE’s Banking on Our Future program elevates the dignity, hope, and economic
self-sufficiency of people in low-wealth and under-served communities through
financial literacy. Since its inception in 1996, the Banking on Our
Future Program has reached over 725,000 students in more than 700 schools and
community-based organizations in the U.S. and South Africa.
We
are looking for volunteers to go into the classrooms to teach basic money
concepts, such as how to create a budget plan, understanding basic bank
products like checking and savings account, and the importance of managing your
credit score wisely. We already have an award winning curriculum in place that
you would be using.
The
participants range from 3rd grade all the way up to 12th
grade. Volunteers can choose which grade level to volunteer with and how many
times to volunteer (as little as 1 time or as many as you want!)
If
you are interested in being a volunteer, please contact James Chen, Program
Manager – Banking on Our Future Los Angeles, at: james.chen@operationhope.org
