Over the past week some of us at Family Services of
Western PA attended an institute for our program, Moneythink. We have returned extremely
excited for this program to come to our hometown of Pittsburgh!
Moneythink is a financial literacy and entrepreneurial endeavor started on the
campus of the University of Chicago by students. Their goal was to start ‘chapters’
of college students who worked together and taught the important life skills of
finances and business in a fun and hands on way to high school juniors and seniors. By doing this, these colleges students become
not only a teacher, but a mentor.
There are currently seventeen chapters across the
country at various colleges and universities coast to coast. We here at FSWP
are looking to start chapters not only in the local universities but also aid
in reaching out the Pittsburgh school districts with this wonderful program.
If you would like more information about how Moneythink
can come to your local high school, or if you are a current college student who
would love to get involved, please contact us!
Happy learning!
