Dear Student aka Jr. Investor,
The Finance for Kids program begins this Wednesday, May 5th from 6-7pm EST. Please register your on our CANVAS website by May 4th at https://canvas.instructure.com/enroll/9DJERH as you will need an account to be part of our program. Canvas is where to find the homework videos, quizzes, future grades, and the link to the live virtual classes. Canvas registration must be done before class starts on May 5th and is required to get their Certificate of Completion and Stock Voucher. As a reminder, the Stock Voucher is only valid for US residents.
What to expect?
P.S. Check our new family-friendly Financial Literacy (FinLit) song streaming everywhere which was written by recording artist Translee and myself. It contains over 17 FinLit lessons from our classes.
