$tart $mart Workshops Scheduled May 15th and 16th

Posted At : May 9, 2010 4:11 PM

We are happy to introduce Financial Literacy’s new endeavor, $tart Smart, to AAUW CA. $tart $mart Campus Initiative empowers young women starting their careers to avoid the gender wage gap. The collaboration between WAGE and AAUW provides college junior and senior women, the knowledge and skills for approaching the job market. They learn how to negotiate salaries and benefits so that they are able to receive fair and realistic compensation.

As planned, we are going to have the first two workshops before the end of June. On Saturday, May 15th our first $tart $mart Campus workshop will be offered at Las Positas College in Livermore. The second workshop will be held on Sunday, May 16th at UCSD in San Diego.

For more information about these workshops, contact Bakula Maniar financialliteracydir@aauw-ca.org

Financial Literacy 101 Pilot Program Was a Big Success!

Posted At : April 6, 2009 9:16 PM

Congratulations to Ginny Hatfield and the San Fernando Valley Branch!

To celebrate Financial Literacy month the SFV branch showcased a very successful Financial Literacy 101 pilot project on April 2nd. Three AAUW CA Directors volunteered and had the great pleasure of doing a worthwhile community service while fulfilling AAUW’s vision of education, research and advocacy.

Junior Achievement provided a daylong workshop with the collaboration of a number of entities and provided the facility used. Four high schools of the L.A. Unified School District participated by sending more than eighty students from their 11th and 12th grade classes.
