What are the seminars like?
Every seminar whether it is part of a larger program or standalone, is unique. Although we have a core set of curricula, we meet our client partner’s needs via customized programs.
What is the volunteer instructor process?
Volunteers must first shadow two classes led by one of our established volunteer instructors. Next, the volunteer must co-teach along with an established volunteer instructor. After that, we will perform a background check. Once these steps are completed, instructors are free to teach on their own. Volunteers will be assigned to teach by availability. Each instructor is required to attend walkthrough sessions to prepare for programs.
What are the other volunteer and pro-bono opportunities?
My Money Workshop has a limited staff and therefore relies on the support of volunteers for data entry, PR and marketing, connecting with new partners, and other support. If you are interested in volunteering and are not interested in teaching, please send an email to gineyda@mymoneyworkshop.org
