"JPL on the Home Front" will offer a combination of group discussions with group facilitators to help encourage participants to share information and engage in conversation about seminar material.
JPL has been awarded a $100,000 grant to fund a one year program "JPL on the Home Front: Your Ticket to Smart Investing @ your library."
Smart investing @ your library is administered jointly by the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), a division of the American Library Assocation, and The Financial Industry Regulation Authority (FINRA) Investor Education Foundation. These organizations fund library efforts to provide millions of library customers with effective, unbiased financial education resources.
"Public libraries are ideally positioned to serve the financial information needs of their communities, and to do so without a sales pitch or a hidden agenda," said John Gannon president of FINRA Foundation. "With the help of these programs, Americans can turn to their libraries to get the best available financial information to make smart decisions for their families' financial future."
This series will especially reach out to Jacksonville military service members, veterans and their families.
