<p>Jeff is an adjunct professor at American University. Jeff’s interest in financial literacy
came about through reading the latest research on the financial literacy gap between men and
women in papers by Annamaria Lusardi and others. After reading about gender and financial literacy, and having conversations with
American University (A.U.) students, Arjun, Shirley, Danny, Tommy, Ivan, Devin, and others,
we collectively realized it would be a good idea to create an organization to teach financial literacy to adults. We hoped to target focus on marginalized groups, particularly women, people near the poverty line, and the immigrant community. Part of the objective was to link students who want to volunteer to teach financial literacy, to adults who want or need to learn financial literacy in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.</p>
