My Nonprofit Reviews

Having worked with young children in various scenarios, I’ve noticed that often, students lose focus quickly and are less engaged in the material because they have so much pent up energy. This isn’t the case with the students in Stocks in the Future. Every student I talk with is extremely focused on the conversation at hand and eager to learn more about the subject. I am most impressed by the fact that these middle-school students have such a strong financial backgrounds and are able to ask me specific questions about a financial concept.

Stocks in the Future impacts more than the students: when students go home, they bring the financial lessons they learned that day home to their parents, who then share it with their friends, and so on. In this manner, Stocks in the Future creates a ripple effect that helps the community as a whole. While other organizations often introduce a skillset to students, Stocks in the Future reinforces the financial concepts over a three-year curriculum. The reinforcement allows students to readily apply the financial knowledge throughout high school and the rest of their lives.
