2011 Financial Literacy Outreach Week
Make an investment in the financial education of the next generation
CalCPA members can make a difference in the lives of students throughout the state by participating in CalCPA Institute's ¢ount on our Future
event. California is one of only four states with no personal finance
education standards, course requirements or testing for its students,
according to the Council for Economic Education. This is why it is vital
for experts in the community to share the basics of personal finance
with the next generation entering universities and the workplace.
CalCPA members already visit schools, libraries and
community centers to impart this knowledge year-round, but in this
concentrated effort, we hope our volunteers will reach more than 10,000
students in one week. During the first week in November, members will
present financial literacy curriculum designed for targeted age groups
in a one-hour session at a school in their area. Our members will
provide knowledge and build excitement about financial literacy by
sharing the real-world advantages of developing fiscal responsibility.
- Dates: Oct. 31–Nov. 4
- Time: 30 minutes to 1 hour of training for presentation; 1 hour for presentation
- Location: A school near you
