K-12: The Foundation designed and developed an online resource to complement the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE) High School Financial Planning Program®. The Web portal, called the NEFE High School Campus, includes a variety of financial planning educational resources for high school students and teachers. InCharge® Education Foundation funded development of the High School Campus program. For students, this program teaches money and business in a way that is fun and easy to understand. For teachers, it provides classroom activities that will help further learning opportunities about personal finance. The Foundation also has been instrumental in the development of two other personal finance education programs for young people. Financial Champions Academy and Consumer Savvy, each consisting of a series of books and a web portal with e-learning games, educate thousands of elementary, middle and high school students on a variety of personal finance topics each year.

Workplace: Employers in the private and public sector are beginning to recognize and understand the scope – and substantial costs – of the financial distress problem among their workers. If you are interested in scheduling a workshop, please visit Partnerships with Employers.
