NewsCorporate Partner Fidelity Investments provides funding to bring Girls Inc. Economic Literacy® programs to schools and regional girls’ centers.She’s On the Money!sm and Dollars, Sense and Mesm, are two components of the Girls Inc. Economic Literacy® program being presented to girls in middle schools throughout southern New Hampshire with funding from Fidelity Investments’ New Hampshire Regional Center in Merrimack. A unique Corporate Partnership between Girls Incorporated of New Hampshire and Fidelity Investments supports Girls Inc. Economic Literacy outreach programs in schools and also supports the program in regional Girls’ Centers in Manchester, Nashua, Concord and Rochester. Fidelity Investments associates visit the classes, participate in the curriculum with the instructors, and share their expertise by answering girls’ questions about financial topics and careers. During one classroom visit, the girls and Fidelity associates enjoyed discussing stocks and bonds and joined in an activity with a coin toss that illustrated the risk associated with investing in the stock market. The girls enjoy the visits of the Fidelity “celebrities” very much, as well as the “goody bags” each girl receives for participating in the program. Each bag contains a “cool” Economic Literacy t-shirt and other items such as a Fidelity calculator or bubble pen! During the years of our partnership, Fidelity Investments and Girls Inc. of New Hampshire have provided Girls Inc. Economic Literacy programs to over 1,500 girls - at our 4 regional girls’ centers, one community center and 10 different schools in the communities of Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Rochester, Raymond, Derry and Stratham. Fidelity Cares volunteers have also been involved outside of the classroom in other ways such as serving on an Advocacy Council, providing gifts for girls at the holidays, volunteering at our annual Girl of The Year celebrations and volunteering at fundraising events. They’ve even taken a group of girls to a Nashua Pride baseball game where one of the girls got to throw out the first pitch! read the full article...
