Clearinghouse

The Jump$tart Coalition encourages schools and organizations serving youth to strengthen personal finance education and insure that personal financial management skills are attained during the K-12 educational experience.  Various complimentary teacher resources are available through public, nonprofit and private resources. In an effort to facilitate the process of matching resources to teachers, the National Jump$tart Coalition has gathered relevant data in a comprehensive database.

Clearinghouse Functions

To identify personal finance education materials for use in Kindergarten through 12th grade classrooms, in a variety of formats and from multiple sources.
To provide timely assistance to information seekers, largely through electronic services.
