National Endowment for Financial Education

The National Endowment for Financial Education

This is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation dedicated to having each and every American citizen making sound and informed financial decisions. They offer several services for all ages, however the High School Program is by far the best.

High School Financial Planning Program

This program is why I am highlighting this group here at Teacherade. They have a very good program that introduces in depth financial education to teenagers. This is a fantastic program. It is attractive, easy to understand, interactive, and high quality.

This is a summary of the program:


Unit Topics

  • Your Financial Plan: Where It All Begins
  • Budgeting: Making the Most of Your Money
  • Investing: Making Money Work for You
  • Good Debt, Bad Debt: Using Credit Wisely
  • Your Money: Keeping It Safe and Secure
  • Insurance: Protecting What You Have
  • Your Career: Doing What Matters Most

The best part of this program is they offer the program and all accompanying materials absolutely free!!!
