Jump$tart seeks to improve the financial management skills of young adults by evaluating the financial literacy of young adults; developing, disseminating and encouraging the use of guidelines for grades kindergarten through 12; and promoting the teaching of personal finance. Jump$tart maintains a database of curricula, other teaching materials and national training programs for educators. Contents may be searched by grade level, media type and descriptor. The coalition also produces a quarterly newsletter for educators that contains personal finance education tools and concepts, sample lesson plans and upcoming events and activities.
