Community Partnership Project: Get Checking Program

FIELD RESEARCH STAFF

Get Checking Program
http://muextension.missouri.edu/ecregion/getchecking/

Get Checking is an educational program designed to help consumers without a primary banking relationship gain access to basic financial services, regardless of their banking history.

The objectives of the program include helping participants:

• develop or re-establish a relationship with a financial institution;
• learn to manage their accounts and avoid excessive fees;
• learn to manage their money wisely; and
• learn what is needed to build and maintain a positive credit history.

In St. Louis, the Get Checking program is staffed by University of Missouri Extension, working in cooperation with the Federal Reserve Bank, the United Way of Greater St. Louis, and a number of other nonprofit and financial partners. The program welcomes student volunteers with a financial background. Tasks will include recruiting and scheduling volunteers from partner banks and credit unions, and assisting in teaching financial education courses.   

Contact Holly Ingraham, Community Partnership Project, at (314) 516-6775 or holly@umsl.edu to apply for this position.
