My Nonprofit Reviews

The other day I attended a class at Hampden Elementary School in Baltimore City where a Stocks in the Future lesson was being taught. The students’ enthusiasm for the program was contagious. When the teacher asked a question, hands immediately shot up in the air.
The students discussed free cash flow, profit and loss margins and inflation and its impact on purchasing power. One student even brought up Peter Lynch, one of the greatest investors ever. How many 8th graders know of Peter Lynch let alone the definition of free cash flow? I was impressed to say the least.
That is why I joined Stocks in the Future. It is a unique program that teaches kids to think critically, analyze situations using their math, writing and speaking skills, and keeps them interested in coming to school. The SIF board is as enthusiastic as the students who are learning about stocks, bonds, mutual funds and the economy. Our members are hard working and 100 percent behind this curriculum, which we aim to introduce to schools throughout Baltimore City.
