Napa County High Schools : More Classes Added

The Napa County Office of Education has mandated personal finance education for all its students before graduating from high school, and Junior Achievement and CalCPA are partnering to help deliver it.

A first round of volunteers visited classrooms in March and now we are looking for more to help bring JA Presents the NEFE High School Financial Planning Program to Napa County high school students.

Volunteers have two options for scheduling their presentations:

• One day (8 a.m.–3 p.m.): During a single day you would deliver one of the five topics, having a different volunteer return during consecutive weeks to deliver the rest of the program; each member teaches one lesson five times.
• Once a week for five weeks: Teach a different one-hour lesson once a week for five weeks.

Napa High Schools: Napa Valley and Vintage

Start Date: April/May

Training: 45-minute teleconference training

Lessons include:

• Lesson One: A Month in the Life
• Lesson Two: From Dreams to Reality
• Lesson Three: Your Credit, Your Future
• Lesson Four: The Case of the Missing Identity
• Lesson Five: Protect Yourself

Each lesson is approximately 45 minutes, and volunteers can set up a flexible schedule by contacting Crystil Turner. Volunteers are trained before they enter the classroom to teach students.

For more information, contact Community Outreach Manager Crystil Turner at crystil.turner@calcpa.org or (650) 802-2492.  Please specify which volunteering option works best for you.
