Jump$tart’s Teen Teach-In events turn high school students studying personal finance into “teachers for a day” as they show off what they have learned to younger students. These events serve as a call to action for elementary school teachers, parents, and the public about the need for effective financial education starting at the elementary school level, while also providing an engaging introduction to financial concepts for students who may not be receiving this information at home.
