    Frequently Asked Questions (faqs)

    Please reach us at ely@investinginyourstory.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    Investing in Your Story is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides underserved and minority children with access, resources, and instruction on financial literacy and financial education. We aim to empower the next generation of informed decision-makers. See more on our 'Purpose' page. 


    Investing in Your Story can help in various ways. For one, there are free resources on our website (see 'Resources for Students') that can help your child gain a basic understanding of financial tools. Additionally, we hold various in-person events within the NYC area (see 'Events' page). These events are always free of charge, included food and snacks, and will teach your child strategies for good financial practices through a comprehensive curriculum curated by our team.


    Our curriculum includes 10 key themes. The following topics are interactively taught at our in-person events, with modifications based on age and previous knowledge: 

    1. Introduction: Checking Accounts (ATM) & Building and Retaining Good Credit 
    2. How to Handle Debt 
    3. Balancing a Checkbook & Savings Accounts
    4. The Role of Banks and the Federal Reserve
    5. Stock Market Basics and Simulation Game 
    6. Risk (Portfolio Diversification)
    7. Inflation
    8. Technical Analysis
    9. Opportunity Cost
    10. Cost/Benefit Analysis


    There are plenty of volunteer positions available -- we could use assistance for modifying our curriculum, outreach / communications, and organizing / planning our in-person events. We would love for you to get involved! Please see the 'About Us' page for a short application. We will get back to you within 7 days.
