Volunteer

At FEBeginners, we give a variety of volunteer opportunities designed to encourage people while sharing knowledge within our community. Each activity not only allows participants to earn volunteer hours but also helps them with valuable skills. Here's a list of our volunteer opportunities and the amount of hours that can be earned:

Volunteer Opportunities

Blog Writing:
Participants can write informative blogs that explore fundamental concepts, trends and insights related to finance, business and economics. Each blog should consist of at least two paragraphs, with a minimum of six sentences (four or more words per sentence) per paragraph. This format encourages in-depth exploration and allows contributors to engage with our audience meaningfully.
Hours Earned: 1 hour for each blog written.

Video Sharing:
Participants are encouraged to create and share videos discussing key topics in finance, business and economics. Each video should be a minimum of seven minutes long, providing an opportunity to express ideas and connect with others through engaging content. For every additional ten minutes of video, participants can earn extra hours.
Hours Earned: 1 hour for a seven-minute video, with every additional ten minutes of content, an hour can be earned.

Workshop Hosting:
Participants can organize and lead workshops on various topics, such as financial literacy, business strategies or economic principles. Each workshop should include interactive activities to engage participants, creating an engaging learning environment. We provide help with preparation and content development, but the main content should reflect the host's unique ideas and knowledge.
Hours Earned: Minimum 1 hour for hosting a workshop, with additional hours available based on the length of the workshop and up to 2 hours for preparation/content development.

Tutoring:
Serving as a tutor to peers offers an opportunity to share knowledge in finance, business or economics. Tutors can provide guidance on academic and career paths, creating a supportive learning relationship. Meetings can be scheduled regularly or as needed, allowing for flexibility.
Hours Earned: 1 hour per session.

At FEBeginners, we emphasize the importance of quality contributions over just meeting requirements. We encourage people to share their unique insights and knowledge, creating an environment that values creativity and detailed discussions.

To increase growth, we will also have a feedback system where participants can receive constructive criticism on their work. This feedback is important for skill development, helping people refine their ideas, build confidence and strengthen their involvement in the community.

Our opportunities are open to high school students, college students graduates, and even parents, promoting  diverse perspectives. We also welcome 7th and 8th graders, encouraging an early start in finance, business and economics.

The Importance of Saving Early

One key concept in finance that everyone should understand is the importance of saving early. Starting to save as a teenager can really impact your financial future. For example, even setting aside a small amount each month can add up over time, thanks to compound interest. I began saving a portion of my allowance for a special purchase and I was surprised at how quickly it grew. This experience taught me that saving doesn't require a lot of money. The thing that matters is the habit of putting money aside consistently.

To make saving easier, consider opening a savings account with a bank that offers interest on your balance. Set specific savings goals, like buying a new gadget or funding a trip with friends, to stay motivated. It's also helpful to track your savings progress to see how close you are to your goal. Additionally, try to automate your savings by transferring a set amount from your checking account each month. By adopting these habits early on, you'll develop a strong financial foundation that will benefit you for years to come. This will benefit you for life.
