We're hiring! As a result of successful advocacy efforts, 16 states are in the process of implementing personal finance courses as a new high school graduation requirement. We are looking for three mission-oriented, nimble, and collaborative Partnership & Adoption Managers to work with school districts and state agencies, supporting implementation in key regions and driving adoption of NGPF’s free curriculum and PD offerings. https://lnkd.in/eQ__3JDm

BIG NEWS! California is the 26th state to require a standalone semester course in personal finance with passage of AB 2927, passed unanimously through both Assembly and Senate and signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom over the weekend. With the most populous state in the nation adopting this policy, nearly 2/3 of high schoolers in the U.S. will be guaranteed to take a personal finance course before graduating high school. https://lnkd.in/gp-mGfT3

"A meta-analysis of 76 randomised experiments in 33 countries found that people who take [personal finance] courses learn the content, save more and budget better." Great feature on the financial education movement in the U.S. via The Economist: https://lnkd.in/g33FEzky
