JWI’s Life$avings for teens is a community wide program that includes a mother/daughter seminar, training for educators, workshops for teens, a public awareness campaign, and online resources. Life$avings introduces high school girls to key elements of budgeting, saving, and asset building, all within a Jewish context.
Life$avings was piloted in New York with generous support from the Jewish Women’s Foundation of New York. The project launched in New York in October 2010, with a mother/daughter seminar keynoted by Karen Finerman, CEO of Metropolitan Capital Advisors, Inc., and discussion and exercises for mothers and teens. More than 100 girls and their mothers came away empowered with crucial financial knowledge and ready to start - and continue - an equally important dialogue about money.
Life$avings® Financial Literacy workshops in the New York area have TRAINED OVER 500 TEENS.
In Fall 2011, the program expanded to West Palm Beach, Florida, in partnership with GirlFuture, and Washington, DC.
