| Impact Report | The New Mexico Jump$tart Coalition is comprised of over 15 organizations, government agencies, financial institutions, and corporations. Working together we are able to join forces to improve the personal financial literacy of New Mexico's youth and young adults. The Home Economist was asked by the coalition to represent NM Jump$tart and traveled to Sans Francisco for a Western State planning meeting in June. This year the Home Economist, active in the Jump$tart coalition was elected the event chairperson for NM Jump$tart. Instead of one event in Albuquerque it was decided that 3 events would be held regionally to accommodate more high school teachers. The north and central region’s event was in Albuquerque in April 2009 with more than 80 teachers in attendance. In addition to an information booth for NMSU Cooperative Extension Family Management programs a workshop was given on the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) curriculum. There was so much interested in this teacher’s workshop that a full day “train the trainer” session was held at the Extension office for interested teacher. Dr. Abdul-Rahman came and presented the training to the teachers in June. Throughout the year the Home Economist has helped teachers on the phone and in person with the NEFE training and has visited classrooms to present training to students. Many high schools and charter schools in the Albuquerque area are using the NEFE curriculum. |
