About This Program
This program allows Hofstra undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to give back to surrounding communities by offering personal money management skills as well as the importance of a good education. The interactive curriculum incorporates mathematics and ELA concepts, as well as practical applications, in every lesson. The curriculum consists of approximately nine lessons, with one lesson presented each week. Periodically, the Money & Me program offers parent workshops for participating districts. The goal of the parent workshops is to provide parents with information about integrating financial literacy habits into family life. Working with school administrators and parent leaders, workshops are offered on several topics ranging from maintaining good credit to saving for education.
