With the Jump$tart National Educator Conference on November 6, tune in to learn more about the organization and Laura’s vision.
Laura reflects on how Jump$tart empowers educators, nurtures volunteer-driven state affiliates, and builds a nationwide community of collaboration. “We didn’t have to sell them on the idea. They came to us,” she said.
She shares how initiatives like the National Educator Conference and Teen Teach-Ins are bringing financial education to life in classrooms across the country, and discusses the core behind the “For Me, It’s Personal” campaign, which reminds us that “everyone has a money story to share.”
