All course materials are provided by Money Mentors. Our tutors must pass a background check to volunteer and are trained and supported by our team of educators at every step of the way.
Time commitment: Typically one hour per week for four to eight weeks.
Amplify your impact- turn your volunteer hours into dollars for the Foundation!
Did you know that your company may provide matching gifts to organizations you support? Some companies give a matching gift after you complete a certain number of volunteer hours. Some give a matching gift after you make a charitable donation. Some do both! Please ask about your company’s policy and consider amplifying your impact on The Actuarial Foundation’s mission. The process is most often quick and easy.
