Program.

Banking on Our Future is
a free financial literacy program, pioneered by Operation
HOPE,
Inc. , which provides youth with the basic
information and core skills necessary for building their financial
futures. By linking trained members of our HOPE Corps of “Banker-Teachers” with
neighborhood schools and community based organizations, youth
are taught the basics of checking and savings accounts, and
the importance that credit and investment can have in their
daily lives. The Banking on Our Future Program adheres to the
mathematics standards set forth by the National Council of
Teachers of Mathematics (Principles and Standards for School
Mathematics 2000).

| Personal
Finance Tip of the Month |
Teachers: Ask your students how much money they could earn
if they each saved $15 a day until they were 65 years
old?
State the following: If you invest $15 now—roughly
the cost your morning coffee/hot chocolate and daily
snacks-and save $15 every day (7 days a week) or
$420 month and place your money in an account that
collects 5.00% interest, you'll be a millionaire
by the time you are 65! That’s only $420 a
month or $15 every day—just think what you
could do if you doubled or tripled that.
