Student Workshop: What are your â??financial pathsâ? as a high school graduate, as a high school dropout, and as a college graduate?

Agency Name:
 Institute for Student Achievement
Project Coordinator:
David Walker, Chief Development Officer
Area of Service:
 Education, Youth and Children
Agency Description:
ISA's mission is to help transform public high schools so that students who are traditionally underserved and underperforming graduate prepared for success in college.
Area:
New York Area
Region:
Manhattan

Project Date & Time:
Oct 17 - 9AM - 3 PM, Oct 18 - 9AM - 3 PM, Oct 19 - 9AM - 3 PM, Oct 20 - 9AM - 3 PM, Oct 21 - 9AM - 3 PM
Project Location:
Manhattan Business Academy - 351 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011
Volunteer Positions:
 There are currently 4 available volunteer positions
Project Description:
Volunteers would work with our borderline struggling students (ones who are not failing classes but also not doing their best and have a low GPA) as well as our students who are struggling to graduate from high school (in two different groups, not the same group). I would like them to create a financial path - what their future will look like financially if they do not graduate from high school, what it will look like if they graduate from high school and what it will look like if they graduate from college. Having a clear financial forecast depending on the path that they take may motivate some of our students. Money does motivate, so I am hoping it will help our students see the light about education and what doors it can open for you.
Special Skills or Tools Required:
Any handout materials that volunteers thinks will be helpful and motivating.
Supplies Needed:
Minimum Age:
14
