MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
The holidays are a great time to pause and reflect on the past, and make plans for the future. And what better gift can you give yourself than getting your own financial house in order? What a joy not to worry about money and to go into 2020 stress-free!

In the spirit of the holidays please consider making a contribution to California Jump$tart in support of our mission, “to improve the quality of life in California by teaching young people how to succeed with money, including organization, earning, spending, saving, investing and credit.” After all, today is #GivingTuesday :)

Don’t forget California Jump$tart is always delighted to assist you and your students, with access to high-quality, free and low-cost resources. Feel free to check the website, www.cajumpstart.org , and email info@cajumpstart.org if you need help spreading financial literacy to our youth.

Our very best wishes for a joyous, fun-filled and financially responsible holiday season!
