Volunteer Instructor Information

Volunteer instructors teach classes on basic money management, present workshops, or operate exhibits at educational fairs. Education focuses on basic financial management topics such as budgeting, the use and pitfalls of credit, banking, and saving. Instructors will teach their assigned classes, actively involve the participants, distribute and collect participant evaluation forms, and prepare a class summary report when needed. Exhibit volunteers will assist in planning, staffing, and implementing the event.

All members are required to receive a one-hour membership training.  An eight-hour volunteer training is provided for financial literacy education instructors. The training will provide you with the tools and resources to make your instruction experience a success. You will receive the award-winning FDIC "Money Smart" curricula (English and Spanish) and practical hands on content training. The training includes principles and techniques to enhance adult learning and performance.  Additional training focused on youth is also provided.

The next volunteer instructor training is scheduled for April 1, 3, and 8th, 2008.
