     Exciting opportunities to teach financial literacy
The Muriel Siebert High Water Women Campaign for Financial Literacy is in its third year with many new opportunities for volunteers to teach teens about personal financial management in eight or four weekly sessions in after-school and community-based programs throughout the City.  We will make every effort to accommodate your busy schedules and assign multiple volunteers to each location so you will not be committed to teach at every session. We will provide you with curriculum materials and a two hour training and orientation now scheduled for Tuesday October 4th at 6pm at Corbin Capital 590 Madison Ave. (cor. 57th) 31st fl.  If you can't attend the training, we will make other arrangements to get you started. If you are a returning financial literacy volunteer, attendance at the training is optional. Sign up for training now   or RSVP to dkeating@highwaterwomen.org
