Former NFL Player Jedidiah Collins CFP® Empowers New York Jets and Newark Public Schools with Financial Literacy

Jedidiah is helping NFL players capture their dreams while empowering high school students begin theirs.

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a world where financial decisions can shape futures, former NFL fullback Jedidiah Collins CFP^®, is bringing a powerful message of financial empowerment to the heart of New York and New Jersey. As the founder of Money Vehicle, an innovative financial literacy curriculum, Jed is on a mission to ensure that financial empowerment is accessible to all, from helping NFL players capture their dreams to helping high school students begin theirs.

Collins will be making a dynamic impact in the New York-New Jersey area from September 25th through September 27th. On Monday, he'll be stepping back into the NFL world with the New York Jets, sharing his experience as a former player and expertise in the financial world with the team. His message focuses on actions the players can take to maximize their opportunities so their NFL dreams will echo throughout their lives.

“15 years ago I wrote in my journal that I wanted to come back and teach players like me, ones who felt totally unprepared for the financial opportunity of the NFL, but ones who want to empower themselves in capturing their NFL dream,” he said.

But his mission doesn't stop there.

On Wednesday, Jedidiah will take center stage in a different type of Professional Development as he trains the teachers of Newark Public High Schools on how to teach financial literacy in their classrooms by utilizing the Money Vehicle curriculum. The semester-long hybrid classroom curriculum is set to make waves from the classroom and into the community. The training will equip educators with the resources they need to be confident in delivering what is a new subject in schools, money. Through the virtual program, students will have access to interactive textbooks and teachers will have access to Money Vehicle Facilitator Slides walking them through each topic day by day in class.

“Money Vehicle has a vision of providing students a roadmap to financial freedom, but we know without empowering the teachers we can never reach the student. Our mission is to provide an engaging and easy-to-use financial literacy curriculum for our teachers.” Collins added.

This program has already gained nationwide recognition, being adopted by school districts nationwide and in cities such as San Bernardino, CA, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Philadelphia, PA.
