SIF Committee Opportunities
The Program Committee
This group works with activity in the field. They assess what is working, how to move forward with strategic planning, and how to fix what is not working. Additionally, the group accesses how to grow the program in various ways both within the curriculum and in ways of recruitment. Our focus this year is taking our newly developed SIF Adult Curriculum and finding new partnerships to extend the program to adult learners. This is a great committee to join if you are new to SIF.
The Tech Committee
This is an exciting new committee who helps us develop and update our websites; our public website as well as our students that holds their portfolios. We also seek to develop a program management system and games and videos to add to our curriculum.
The Fundraising Committee
This group looks at our overall strategy to raise money through our quarterly events: A poker tournament in the fall, Trivia event in the winter, our signature fundraising event in the spring and our ‘Summer Sizzler” event which varies each year. The focus of these events is not just to raise funds but to recruit new volunteers as well.
The Marketing Committee
This group is reserved for marketing professionals only. We have a team of graphic designers, social media experts and advertisers who advise SIF on best practices to “sell” SIF in various ways. Our focus this year is to develop a promotional video.

I like Stocks In Future because it relates to what we’re learning in school. The activities are engaging and actually fun. I liked learning about probability and ratios.

My favorite part about Stocks in the Future is the privilege to earn money. I learned that if you invest in a stock with your money you make money or lose money.
