• Jump$tart Coalition
First convened in December 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial
Literacy determined that the average student who graduates from high school
lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many
are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into the
basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, savings and investing.
The Coalition's direct objective is to encourage curriculum enrichment to
insure that basic personal financial management skills are attained during
the K-12 educational experience. The interactive website includes Jump$tart's
Reality Check, resources and links to financial education programs and projects.
