JA of Mid Michigan

It is Personal Finance Friday, which means we are over halfway through National Financial Literacy Month! Thank you to Jackson for being our Financial Literacy Month Sponsor! Did you know? The Michigan Department of Education now requires high school students to take a half credit of personal finance in order to graduate! JA is helping students meet this requirement with practical, hands-on financial education curricula. Three of our programs meet the criteria outlined by the Michigan Department of Education and are available statewide! More information about these programs can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gA3MNhyX
