PALO ALTO, Calif., May 23, 2018 - Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF), a non-profit committed to ensuring that ALL students leave high school with the financial skills needed to thrive in the future, is excited to announce summer workshops they are sponsoring for educators. NGPF recently announced a $25 million investment focused on teacher development over the next decade and these summer workshops represent a down payment. 

"We are excited to be supporting teacher PD programs in six states this summer," said NGPF founder, Tim Ranzetta, "We have had some great partners to help us get this initiative off the ground, including Jump$tart whose Financial Foundations for Educators PD model will be used in several states. Based on the early sign-ups for these programs, it is clear there is great demand for these 3-5 day workshops and we look forward to providing this opportunity for teachers in many more states in the future."

“We are grateful to NGPF for promoting teacher training and for including our Jump$tart Financial Foundation for Educators™ Model in their training events,” said Dan Hebert, Director of Professional Development for the Jump$tart Coalition. “The J$FFE model is designed to treat the teacher as an adult learner with the objective of building knowledge and increasing their confidence in personal finance.”

About the Author

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
