ABOUT MONEY101JR.
MONEY101Jr. offers a program of age appropriate financial literacy classes and workshops designed to develop smart money habits as an introduction to finances for children.
MONEY101Jr.’s training introduces children to saving, spending, credit cards, digital wallets, balancing a budget, college loans, work salaries, basic investments and interest rates as they become more independent and before they enter college.
The goal of MONEY101Jr. is to strengthen children’s emotional, psychological and basic understanding of money.
MONEY101Jr. is ideal for middle school and high school students and can be tailored to specific interests, topics or age-groups within a particular community. Hands-on role playing provides interactive scenarios with instructors giving students one-on-one coaching.
Because we know that kids have lots of questions, every class will include plenty of time for Q&A.

WHO WE ARE
​
Adrienne Klein and Lisa Slow Goldstein are both award-winning broadcast journalists who met as producers covering financial news when the markets led the news cycle on a daily basis and personal finance stories filled the papers. With degrees in journalism and communications, they used their skills to learn the lingo, understand the stories and relay the facts in a compelling way. They each have more than a decade of television production experience under their belts. Both stepped away from the daily television grind to produce their proudest productions to date, their families.
With Money 101 Jr., Adrienne and Lisa hope to fill the void in education so many pre-teen and teenage kids face today, where information has become instantaneous but basic facts are often forgotten. The intention is to formulate street smarts/money smarts. Not from the minutiae of a hedge fund, the vaults of a bank or the floor of a stock exchange. Rather, they hope to meld their years of experience uncovering the facts and telling the stories with their enthusiasm for helping children learn and grow in the real world.
Adrienne Klein worked for CNN’s Moneyline and CNN Financial News as a field, live and line producer. She has also worked/produced/wrote for projects for Yahoo Finance and Reuters that included coverage of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. She lives in New York City with her family.
Lisa Slow Goldstein worked for CNN’s Moneyline as well as CNN Financial News as a field producer. She was also a producer for Bloomberg Television where she wrote and produced radio and television stories and collaborated with print journalists on feature business stories. Lisa has continued her work and passion to communicate information in a clear and effective way in communication roles for non-profits such as AmeriCares and currently the Mark Twain Library in her home of Redding, CT where she lives with her family.
