Next Gen Personal Finance is pleased to announce its inaugural class of NGPF Summer Institute Fellows. The NGPF Summer Institute will be held from June 27-29th in Palo Alto, California. The Institute brings a passionate group of educators together to create a professional learning community that collaborates, shares resources and develops innovative and engaging projects over the course of the 2 1/2 day program.

We expanded the Fellows class from 6 to 12 based on the quantity and quality of applications that we received. To accommodate the overwhelming interest of teachers seeking professional development opportunities, we also plan to hold one day workshops throughout the US later this fall. Please contact me at tim@nextgenpersonalfinance.org if you are interested in organizing a group of 10-15 passionate educators in your area.

About the Author

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
