Hi all,
I hope everyone is having a smooth Monday. Please find the below opportunity from ALA’s Public Programs Office (PPO) and feel free to share with your lists as appropriate.
--
The American Library Association’s Public Programs Office (ALA PPO) is pleased to announce a partnership with the FINRA Investor Education Foundation to create a series of resources that embrace diversity in telling stories and sharing skills related to personal finance and financial capability for children. In collaboration with FINRA, ALA PPO will develop and administer a program package to offer to 100 public and school libraries nationwide through a competitive application process. To carry out this work, ALA is recruiting 10 ALA member librarian advisors to collaborate on, research, and develop a financial literacy reading list and programming guide.
Responsibilities of the advisory group members will include:
Each advisor will receive a $500 stipend for their work. Their involvement in the project will last approximately 7 months, from April – October 2021. We estimate work on the project will be approximately 25 hours over the course of the 7 months.
To be considered as an advisor, email a resume, noting any ALA round table, interest group, other ALA volunteer or relevant library profession volunteer activities, how you heard about this opportunity, and a one-page biography summarizing interest, experience, knowledge and anything else you feel is relevant to this work to BeeBee Browne at [log in to unmask] by March 29, 2021.
Please feel free to forward this message to anyone you think would make a good candidate for this opportunity.
Best,
BeeBee
