From the Executive Director's Corner |
|
From our team at the AFSA Education Foundation, we wish you a very happy New Year! 2022 was another busy year for us. We continued to promote the MoneySKILL curriculum across the country by exhibiting and presenting at educator conferences, leading a speaker panel, updating and developing new teacher resources, conducting social media campaigns, and so much more. We are so thankful for all of the returning and new educators who are using MoneySKILL to improve their learners’ personal finance knowledge.
One of the efforts we were most excited about this past year was embarking on a strategic planning process focused on the future of the MoneySKILL program. As a part of the strategy work, we conducted three focus group sessions to gather valuable feedback from current MoneySKILL instructors. We gained important insights on the strengths of the program and opportunities for growth in the future and are eager to begin working toward a bigger and better MoneySKILL in 2023.
As always, please feel free to reach out to us if you have specific feedback, suggestions, or questions about MoneySKILL. We look forward to sharing more with you throughout the year.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Ashburn
Executive Director
AFSA Education Foundation

| Are you interested in a new opportunity to showcase your financial educator skills, earn some extra money, and help promote MoneySKILL? We are currently recruiting MoneySKILL instructors to serve as MoneySKILL Mentors at various regional educator conferences. Mentors would be expected to host MoneySKILL exhibit booths at conferences (such as state career tech events, Jump$tart Personal Financial Literacy activities, family and consumer sciences conferences, and more) and potentially deliver short MoneySKILL workshops. MoneySKILL Mentors will earn a competitive daily stipend based on conference exhibit and presentation duties as well as reimbursement for per diem expenses. At this time, we are particularly interested in individuals working in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Utah, but encourage anyone interested to reach out regardless of location.
