Jump Start Coalition
http://www.jumpstart.org/
First convened in December, 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy
determined that the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the
management of personal financial affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply
have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and
investing.
Many young people fail in the management of their first consumer credit experience, establish bad
financial management habits, and stumble through their lives learning by trial and error. The
Coalition´s direct objective is to encourage curriculum enrichment to ensure that basic personal
financial management skills are attained during the K-12 educational experience. The wheels of
education do not need to be reinvented, they simply require balance.
