NH Jump$tart Coalition
Committed to Improving the Financial Literacy of NH’s Youth
2019 Goals:
Our specific goals for 2019 are to continue our popular programs and activities: FinLit300 — a high school tournament focusing on financial literacy; the I Can Save! Tour of second grade classroom presentations emphasizing the difference between needs vs. wants; the Accounting on the Horizon presentations, in partnership with the NH Society of Certified Public Accountants; our annual teacher training workshop known as Classroom Connections; and our annual charity golf tournament. Additionally, we will continue to promote our recent statewide study of New Hampshire schools, identifying where a personal finance course is required for graduation.
Mission Statement:
The mission of the NH Jump$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.
