JFSA is pleased to present Financial Literacy Program for Jewish youth ages 15-18 (born to immigrant parents). In this fun, interactive 9 week course you will learn about managing your finances, everything from budgeting and savings (keeping money in your pocket) to credit cards and debt (who wants to take money out of your pocket) as well as learning about investments (how to put more money in your pocket). The sessions will also include a Jewish perspective on how to use your money to give back to your community (tzedakah). You will meet with professionals in the financial field to get a deeper understanding of the topics and for possible career exploration.
Please join Jeff Baker who will be sure to make each session fun, engaging and interactive. Jeff has developed and has been teaching this material to youth through the Vancouver School Board for the past 5 years and has a Masters degree in Educational Leadership with a focus on Personal Finance Education. He has been a teacher and owns his own property management company. Jeff is passionate about teaching youth how to manage their finances today and in the future.
