Committed to Improving the Financial Literacy of NH’s Youth

October 10, 2019

NH Business Review Staff,

2020 Goals:

Our specific goals as we launch into our 20-year anniversary will be to continue our popular programs and activities: FinLit300 — a high school tournament focusing on financial literacy; the I Can Save! Tour of second grade classroom presentations emphasizing the difference between needs vs. wants; our annual teacher training workshop known as Classroom Connections; and our annual charity golf tournament. Additionally, we will continue to promote our recent statewide study of New Hampshire schools, identifying where a personal finance course is required for graduation.

Mission Statement:

The mission of the NH Jump$tart Coalition is to improve the financial literacy of pre-kindergarten through college-age youth by providing advocacy, research, activities, standards and educational resources. We have a unique proposition because we are a coalition of organizations and individuals, which share a commitment to the financial education of children.
