Financial literacy portal for students

Wednesday, May 8, 2024

Twin Falls, Idaho – Idaho High School Activities Association Executive Director, Ty Jones, and First Federal Bank President and CEO, Jason Meyerhoeffer, have announced the debut of a financial literacy portal for use by students and educators in the State. The ‘Idaho High School Financial Fitness’ portal includes educational modules on saving, budgeting, investing, spending, credit, risk, insurance, and the economy. The featured playlists are intended to give teachers supplemental material and activities, complimenting their current financial literacy curriculum. The portal can be accessed for free via the IHSAA website at idhsaa.org/financial-fitness-portal or through the First Federal Bank website at bankfirstfed.com/financial-fitness.

“Financial literacy skills are so important for students as they prepare for life after graduation,” stated Jones. “And, although many of our efforts at the IHSAA are focused on leading the State’s extracurricular activities, our goal with this initiative was to impact all high school students.”
