As a FinancED Ambassador, you will work towards promoting financial literacy and sustainability throughout the community. Local FinancED branches regularly visit underprivileged schools, ranging from elementary to senior high. At these schools, our ambassadors teach students essential financial skills (such as budgeting, saving, investing, and entrepreneurship), provide access to resources so they can continue learning independently, offer career counseling for students interested in finance or sustainable business after high school, and educate students on the importance of sustainable financial practices for the future economy.
Local FinancED branches may also collaborate with other branches to host events outside of schools open to the whole community, such as workshops or speaker series, where industry professionals share their experiences in finance and sustainability. These events provide students with the opportunity to meet like-minded peers from other schools while exploring their interests in greater depth.
Official members of FinancED branches are required to volunteer at least once per month during the school year, though individual branches may increase this minimum requirement. Additionally, members do not need prior experience in finance, and we encourage any student interested in helping their community to join FinancED. The only requirement to becoming a FinancED Ambassador is completing the safety screening process and to interview with the head of your branch.
