MONEY COACH PROGRAM

The years leading up to high school graduation are critical to the formation of strong money management habits. Personal attention and guidance are the most effective ways to empower teens for a stable and successful financial future. Money Coach, specifically designed for teens from under-resourced communities, is our one-of-a-kind, semester-long financial mentoring program. Small groups of teens are matched with teams of volunteer coaches who guide them through in-depth financial literacy curriculum and provide one-on-one support as they put concepts into practice.

Money Coach is a multi-week program completed over a semester with high school juniors and seniors (Sept-Dec or Feb-May). Group sessions are held every other week, last 60-75-minutes, and focus on specific financial topics with interactive activities and discussion. One-on-one check ins (about 30 minutes each) are held on the weeks between the group sessions and allow for more in-depth focus on each teen's individual budget, expenses, and goals. As a volunteer, you'll mentor teens on their path to financial capability using well-designed curriculum and resources.

Money Coach is delivered in select high schools and community-based organizations in the Milwaukee area. Teens must be enrolled at one of these partners to be eligible to participate. The list of partners changes each semester, but has included: Riverside, Rufus King, Vincent, Golda Meir, North Division, James Madison, Hamilton, Washington, Reagan, South Division, St. Joan Antida, Messmer, St. Anthony, Bay View, Bradley Tech, Carmen (NW, SE, & S campuses), Teens Grow Greens, and PEARLS for Teen Girls.

VOLUNTEER ROLES

SecureFutures' Money Coach program is a hands-on financial coaching program delivered to a group of high school students by volunteer coaches. The program aims to provide a deeper understanding of financial concepts and hands-on goal-setting through a lesson plan that focuses on direct volunteer-to-student interaction. The primary role of all SecureFutures volunteers is to engage students in financial education lessons by asking questions, leading discussions, and sharing professional and life experience. There are two distinct volunteer roles in the Money Coach program.

The Group Coach volunteer engages and encourages participants and leads the group sessions. The sessions serve to educate participants on financial literacy and to guide them in the development of action plans to achieve financial needs and goals. The group sessions take place every other week for the length of the program (about 6 group sessions). All curriculum and materials are provided. We intend to hold the group sessions in person, but sites will determine their visitor policies as they relate to COVID 19 safety protocols. Groups are generally consist of about 12-18 students.

The One-on-One Coach volunteer engages and encourages participants and conducts one-on-one check-ins. The check-ins enable the coach and students to build meaningful and supportive relationships. These take place every other week while the program runs (about 5 one-on-one check ins) and will be conducted by phone or virtually. One-on-one coaches are expected to attend the group sessions, as well. One-on-one coaches will be assigned 3-4 students to mentor.

Coaches help students to develop action plans to achieve financial needs and goals and guide them if they are faced with obstacles while working toward those goals. Students practice healthy money management skills and are provided the opportunity to earn a scholarship as they meet program benchmarks.

Preferred Talents and Interests:
● Desire to work with teens who come from economically disadvantaged families and communities.
● Desire to build meaningful relationships with teens.
● Experience with public speaking, presenting, or teaching.
● Working knowledge of foundational personal finance concepts. (Training and curriculum will be provided.)
● Basic computer skills.

Training:

All volunteers complete a 3 hour, in-person training. The training covers cultural humility, trauma-informed care, and student engagement techniques, as well as all of the logistics and curriculum for the program.

What does a Companion do?

How does one learn how to be a Companion?

We have our new volunteers begin by attending a shift or two and simply observing. Then, we connect new volunteers with an established companion whom they will shadow for several shifts until the new volunteer feels ready to take the lead with neighbors.  We work collaboratively, so no companion ever flies completely solo.

Position summary:

Aljirani Madison (from the Swahili “jirani - neighbor” and Arabic “aljar - neighbor”) is a 6-month long volunteering program that pairs a companion or small group of companions with a refugee or refugee family to form an Aljirani Madison Group. Partner with a local refugee family to provide a warm welcome, companionship, and practical help. You will work with your partner to aid them in reaching their goals agreed upon in advance by your new partner and their JSS case manager. Potential goals may include developing English or financial literacy skills, career development, navigating public transportation, or getting to know the Madison community. You will play a key role in the successful resettlement of newly arrived refugees in the Madison community. Through your work and partnership in the Aljirani Madison program you will build a shared sense of community solidarity while ensuring that community newcomers are able to become self-sufficient.

Potential activities:

Note: We are currently encouraging volunteers and their Aljirani Madison partners to have a conversation around comfort levels with resuming in-person activities. In-person meetings following CDC guidelines are generally preferred for most clients, particularly those with digital literacy barriers.

Time commitment:

At least two hours per week for a period of 6-months. Note: At the 6 month mark, the Refugee Support Programs Coordinator will inform you that the formal volunteer period has concluded. It will be your decision on how to end the relationship with your partner and/or how to transition into an informal relationship or friendship. Please note that after the formal period ends, JSS will no longer provide volunteer support.

Location:

Since newcomers live all around Madison, you may not be able to count on being paired with someone who lives within walking distance of your residence. Take advantage of the Madison bus system and bike trails and introduce your companion to these transportation options too. When refugees first arrive most of them do not have a car or driver’s license.

Supervision:

The Aljirani Madison volunteer will provide basic weekly reports on meetings and have periodic check ins with the program coordinator to receive support and guidance.

AMERICORPS VISTA OPPORTUNITY
DETAILS:
- Placement with Stepping Stones of Dunn County in Menomonie, Wisconsin
- 40 hours a week
- Starting August 2nd, 2021
- One-year placement
- Benefits of AmeriCorps VISTA membership —  https://americorps.gov/members-volunteers/vista/benefits

- Contact: Jill Seichter — communityconnect@steppingstonesdc.org

GOAL OF THE AMERICORPS VISTA PLACEMENT:

Stepping Stones of Dunn County has three major focus areas: Food Pantry, Emergency Shelter and Volunteer Services. We are the primary service-provider for the food insecure and homeless in Menomonie and Dunn County, Wisconsin.
We have identified several expansion areas including increasing outreach and services to underserved populations—with a focus on rural communities, members of the Hmong community and members of the Hispanic community.
• Rural Communities—Two-thirds of the population of Dunn County lives outside of the city of Menomonie but, as the population center, Menomonie currently receives the majority of the programing and funding for the county.
• The Hmong Community—As the largest minority population in the county, there is not only increased food insecurity and poverty, but also cultural and structural barriers to services.
• The Hispanic Community—As the fastest-growing minority population in the county, the need for services is increasing year-over-year. In addition to structural barriers, there are trust issues with government and non-government service agencies.
Within a broader effort of building capacity to provide for the underserved in Dunn County, the aim of the VISTA position will be to establish community relationships, assess areas of need, and build structures for communication that will sustain beyond the year-term of the placement.
BENEFITS OF SERVICE:
The member will benefit from their experience developing an outreach campaign for underserved populations. The member will serve with a small team of dedicated individuals to expand our capacity for service. Being that Stepping Stones of Dunn County provides food, shelter and volunteer services, the breadth of experience will be applicable to many career directions in the non-profit sector, or human services. Experience in establishing contacts in underserved populations, community engagement, qualitative and quantitative need assessment, program evaluation and improvement, and communications will improve not only the community, but the capabilities of the VISTA member as well.

If you would like to drop off new or like new children’s books, please read our donation guidelines and then sign up to make a delivery appointment.

Don't have books to donate? Purchase us new books that we love from our wishlists!

Book drives are a great way for community organizations, businesses, youth groups and families to support MRP programs. Your group can select a goal, a timeframe, and start collecting high quality books.

Contact volunteer@madisonreadingproject.com with any questions. 

UCC Schools aims to encourage a love of reading and literacy among students of all ages. To do this, we need ample books available for children's home libraries as well as our classroom libraries. You can help by donating gently used books for ages 2-14.

We kindly ask that all books be in good condition and divided by age levels:

Most books indicate what grades or ages it can be used for, or this information could be accessible via Amazon or preferred retailer. For ease of shopping, feel free to browse our Amazon Wish List. 

Please email Kiara Rosado at krosado@unitedcc.org to coordinate a book drive and schedule a drop-off. Thank you!

Great Marriages Mentoring Program

The greatest untapped resource to save marriages is couples with solid marriages willing to invest in other couples by sharing their testimony and example.

We invite couples who are passionate about marriage to use their gifts, abilities, and life experience to come

Most mentor couples do not recognize their potential to serve as mentors, but are identified by others as having a loving, committed marriage.

Curriculums

A mentor couple serves as a resource for couples who seek guidance and direction to address particular problems in their relationship. Mentors are trained with Prepare/Enrich materials on various skills like communication, conflict resolution, asking for forgiveness, etc. They also have access to our RelateWell curriculum and other resources for any given issue a couple may be facing. 

The mentoring sessions are designed to teach and allow practice in basic skills which enable couples to openly communicate, and enrich, nurture, and build a life-long relationship.

Mentor Requirements

A mentor couple does not have to have a perfect marriage, but should be a couple who is willing to share their experience and dedication to a lifelong commitment with others. We ask that couples be married 15+ years and be willing to invest time and energy in helping other couples. Great Marriages trains all mentors and provides the space and resources to help others.  Preferably, mentor couples should be faith-based as we offer both faith-based and non faith-based mentoring. 

Process to become a Great Marriages mentor:

Please email Jocelyn@great-marriages.org if you are interested in more information about becoming a mentor couple.

Thank you!
