M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program Seeks Volunteers The M. Ellen Carpenter Financial Literacy Program, a joint project of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts and the Boston Bar Association, is entering its fourth year and continues to expand. The program seeks additional volunteers to instruct high school students about basic financial issues. Volunteers teach students through modules dealing with personal finance, budgeting, buying a car, using credit, and the consequences associated with credit problems. Attorneys of all backgrounds are encouraged to volunteer to teach one class session. The time commitment is less than six hours and the program provides training and program materials. It will begin in late January or early February. To sign up, please contact the BBA's Department of Community Affairs at Rrantz@bostonbar.org. |
