Mission Statement

Financial Beginnings is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides finance education to youth and young adults in the Pacific Northwest. The generosity of community members, volunteers, businesses and foundations enable Financial Beginnings to provide these programs at no cost to participants. Financial Beginnings educates over 10,000 young people each year.

Financial Beginnings empowers youth and adults to take control of their financial future. We provide educational programs that incorporate all aspects of personal finance to give individuals the foundation they need to make informed financial decisions.

Financial Beginnings is the pathway to a financially literate nation. In a financially literate nation, individuals cease to see finances as a barrier and instead view them as a tool to realize their dreams. In a financially literate nation, individuals are vested in and contribute to a healthy economic system nationally, regionally and in their own neighborhood.

Description

We are a volunteer-driven, community-oriented organization that thrives on inspiring students to take better control of their financial future. As a volunteer you would be a strong community role model and it would only take up a small portion of your time. We will meet for approximately 2 hours for a presenter training to cover the ins and outs of how to teach the banking, savings & investing and credit classes. After that we will provide you with all the resources and knowledge you need to teach at designated schools within your community. You only to commit to teach at days and times that fit your schedule.
