Read NGPF's school-by-school analysis of financial education in America today
Financial education should be a fundamental part of every student's academic journey, which is why I’m thrilled to be part of NGPF. As the new Partnerships and Adoptions Manager, I’m excited to bring NGPF’s comprehensive curriculum to school districts on the West Coast, helping ensure that students have access to the essential financial knowledge they need to thrive.
Growing up, I had the privilege of being raised by parents who took both education and financial literacy seriously. For both of them, it was a professional preoccupation as well; my mother worked in financial planning and my father is currently an economics and personal finance teacher.
From a young age, they took my siblings' and my financial education seriously. As a sort of capstone before heading to college, each of us had to present our parents with a detailed budget proposal, similar to NGPF’s Monthly College Budget activity. Thanks to their foresight, I learned early on the importance of financial literacy and planning.
I'm deeply grateful for my upbringing, but I believe teaching children about the complexities of banking and personal finance shouldn't rest entirely on parents.
At NGPF, we’re not just delivering curriculum – we’re working to bridge the gap and make financial education accessible to all students, regardless of background or resources. By partnering with educators and school districts, we’re empowering the next generation to build the skills they need for financial independence.
Please reach out to me if you would like more information about how we work with school districts.
In her role as Partnerships & Adoption Manager, West, Katie develops partnerships with large school districts and state agencies in the Western U.S., assisting them in implementing Personal Finance course guarantees and adopting NGPF's free curriculum and PD offerings.
