3 3 PROGRAM SUMMARY Studies show that U.S. teens are graduating from high school without solid financial management skills. The lure of credit card offers and check-cashing stores, combined with a lack of money management education, sets many up for financial crises that can last a lifetime. Make A Difference Wisconsin s volunteer instructors and staff strive to change that by delivering financial literacy programs to high school students. We partner with schools and educators to enable our trained volunteers to deliver Make A Difference Wisconsin s curriculum. The program consists of a series of seminars focused on: budgeting and saving understanding checking accounts understanding credit cards, credit history/scores, and credit reports. We provide each volunteer with the training, the curriculum and the materials required; we also establish the connection between you and the classroom teacher. You engage with students directly in delivery of the program, as you share your unique perspective, accounts of your personal and professional experiences and the invaluable benefit of your insights.
