Volunteer Instructor Program

My Money Workshops are taught by volunteer instructors with a background in money management and/or economics.

My Money Workshop offers our volunteer instructors teaching as well as other opportunities. If you choose to teach, the commitment to volunteer is very manageable … a few workshops a year... minimum once a quarter, so you can stay connected to the new content and the direction of the organization. Opportunities to volunteer on a more frequent basis are also available. Prior to teaching for My Money Workshop, volunteer instructors need to go through an onboarding process where they observe two workshops, co-teach two workshops, do one final teaching/co-teaching, and finally become an ACTIVE My Money Workshop Instructor.

Length of workshops are based on particular school/program needs and typically range from 1 to 2 hours.  Presentation and handout(s) are e-mailed to client approximately one week before the scheduled workshop. Volunteer instructors provide a survey link to participants on day of the workshop to access/complete pre- and post- surveys.

Prior to the workshop date … My Money Workshop collaborates with the host teacher, department head, etc. to ensure that we are best meeting the needs of the students and/or community members attending our workshops.
