Partnerships

The Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy® is a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC. It is a coalition—an organization of organizations that share an interest in advancing financial literacy among students in pre-kindergarten through college. Today, Jump$tart is a partnership of about 150 national organizations and entities from the corporate, non-profit, academic, government and other sectors. Many of these coalition partners are “household names.” Generally, these partner organizations conduct and/or support financial education or offer financial education tools and materials for youth and others.

We just launched the Puerto Rico coalition for Jumpstart, as the 50th coalition of the program in the United States of America. We are very excited about this project and ready to start helping our children to be wiser and savvy about their financial future.

NARCA's own financial literacy program:
"Avoiding the Debt Trap”

Financial Literacy is of paramount importance now more than ever as our nation endures the most challenging economy in recent decades—NARCA provides a presentation, titled "Avoiding the Debt Trap,” that is designed to reach perhaps the most vulnerable segment of our population: teenagers and young adults.

With the use of credit cards among young adults on the rise, many are finding themselves deep in debt without understanding how they got there or how to get out of financial trouble. This 50-minute presentation explores key concepts in budgeting, credit math, consumer finance and managing debt.

Encourage financial literacy in your community!

This program is designed so NARCA members - attorneys - give this presentation directly to the attendees. The presentation is easily understood by teenagers and young adults and thoroughly covers "debt traps.” NARCA has found that having an attorney give the presentation is effective and efficient as legal questions can be answered thoroughly and accurately and the serious nature of the subject matter is brought home to the audience.
