Speaker: Jason Rothkowitz – Program Manager, Financial Beginnings WA
Topic: Financial Tips and Fraud Awareness
Speaker Bio:
“My personal connection to the mission lies in my family’s lack of financial stability as a child. My father’s career in the film industry during the 1970s and 80s was typical for most professional freelancers in that you never knew when the next job would become available. We went from periods of, ‘feast to famine’. As a father myself, I strive to maintain a financial stability for my family that was absent for me. Financial education is a critical expanded learning opportunity (ELO) missing in public K-12 education in Washington State. I am a firm believer in filling this need for ELO in partnership with nonprofit and community-based organizations like Financial Beginnings, and volunteers with professional expertise. Early financial education, particularly for underserved and marginalized youth, is essential to ending generational poverty in our communities. As a parent and a volunteer education advocate for over a decade, I am privileged to be able to serve our students and adult learners in the nonprofit space.”
Jason facilitates the connection between class hosts and teaching volunteers and recruits and retains new class opportunities.
