A Junior Achievement Podcast for youth leaders about money, careers, and innovation.
Beyond conveying the seriousness of this new-found personal responsibility to your children, how does your family plan to handle the financial impact of having a new young driver in your home? Tune in as our hosts interview guest Steve Isaak as he shares his best practices around preparing kids for the economic implications of car ownership.
With as dry and elusive as the topic can be, how do you broach the subject of insurance with your kids? Should you choose liability or comprehensive coverage for your child’s first car? What about special insurance for families with kids? Listen in as our hosts interview Jessi Howe, Financial Adviser with Silver Oak Advisory Group, who offers up her take on sharing the importance of insurance with your kids.
How soon should we be educating our children about the mechanics of banking, and what are the advantages of teaching kids about maintaining a bank account at a young age? Listen in as our hosts interview bank manager Damon Philpot and discuss when and how best to talk to your kids about banking.
We bring you our second episode on the not-so-ordinary summer camp experience. Listen in as hosts Evan and Todd talk with Junior Achievement (JA) of Oregon and SW Washington’s VP of Programs, Barbara Smith, about their unique, experiential program for kids, JA BizTown Summer Camp!
What are the benefits of summer jobs for kids? How young is too young? With limited experience, are there other options besides fast food? Listen in as our hosts share their childhood work experiences and engage Dr. Jeylan Mortimer, author of “Working and Growing Up in America”, in a conversation around the pros and cons of early work for youth.
