The Stock Market Invest program is a mathematics based supplement and enrichment financial literacy program. The program was developed with the goal of increasing students' interest in mathematics by presenting its concepts in a life-enriching subject. Almost every child has an interest in having and making money. By using saving and investing as the subject matter we can increase their interest in money management and improve basic math skills. The curriculum teaches students about saving and investing, and assists them in implementing their own savings plan. This is a 9 month program taught by Ms. Nicole Simpson, CPP a former Morgan Stanley Financial Planner. Participants of this program are between the ages of 9-18. The youth are exposed to minority owned business owners through on-site visits and workshops with minority business owned guest speakers. The program is designed to inspire young people to become entrepreneurs and become a business owner within their community. Young people participating in this program are between the ages of 12-18. Develop youth leaders to address issues that affect youth on a daily basis and to develop solutions that will eradicate the problem. The young people are encouraged to engage local, state and federal officials, business, school officials and their peers to be committed to come together to work towards change. Grant-writing, fundraising and public speaking are the highlights to our program. Developing youth leaders today for tomorrow is our motto. Participants of this program are between the ages 12-18. |
