Junior Achievement

Junior Achievement, which operates in more than 100 Chicago schools, has given Moneythink access to two of its classrooms because the organization is interested in our peer-mentoring model.

Teach for America

Teach for America: In the 2011-2012 academic year, Moneythink will be partnering with Teach For America as a recruiting partner at the University of Chicago. Moneythink mentors gain valuable skills teaching in inner-city classrooms, and many strive to Teach For America upon graduation.

Kauffman Foundation

In July 2011, Moneythink’s Young Entrepreneurs Conference winner, Merriel Hartfield, was invited to the Kauffman Foundation for Entrepreneurship in Kansas City to get personal and business mentoring from some of the world’s foremost entrepreneurship experts. Merriel helped found and manage a student store at her high school in South Chicago. Moneythink and the Kauffman Foundation aim to repeat this experience for the winners of the 2012 Moneythink Young Entrepreneurs Conference.
