Community Outreach Program- Lunch and Learn
The Lunch in Learn Series was developed by the FPA of RI in partnership with Bryant University to educate high school students about the field of financial planning and its numerous career opportunities. Our FPA-RI participants are joined by Bryant University students currently enrolled in a CFP Track program as part of their undergraduate work in visiting local high schools to discuss becoming a CFP. The combination and variety of Lunch and Learn presenters will give high school students a comprehensive overview of the process of being a CFP and what ultimately the profession can be for those interested in becoming financial planners. We have visited four local high schools this spring. Student feedback has been fantastic.
- "I really enjoyed the Lunch and Learn because it was a way to fully understand the variety of opportunities through a financially focused education." - Farrah, East Greenwich High School
- "The Lunch and Learn was a conversation and open environment that provided young women in our Invest in Girls program to be both educated and empowered. Empowering financial literacy conversations for women can profoundly impact their economic independence, confidence, and ability to make informed financial decisions, leading to greater financial security and wealth. The Lunch and Learn was the perfect place for this to occur." - Dessa, East Greenwich High School
- "In the Lunch and Learn I learned some financial tips I did not know before such as the '72 Rule' which indicates when your money would double." -Sunny, East Greenwich High School
