The Credit Union National Association is seeking responsible youths with diverse backgrounds for a paid position as members of the youth editorial board for Googolplex, a website that teaches money management skills to kids. No travel is necessary and CUNA welcomes applicants from all areas.
Board membership requires a one-year commitment, and payment is based on age level. Openings are available in three age brackets for the 2011-2012 school year: elementary school (grades 4-6), middle school (grades 7-8), and high school (grades 9-12). Primary duties involve evaluating one new story and one new game per month, and writing one article at the end of the year. Each board member must:
- Have Internet access (at school, home, or a public library) and an e-mail account
- Be able to think critically about online articles and games
- Research and write an article
- Get all assignments done on time
It's a fantastic opportunity for kids to learn more about their finances by playing games online, reading stories from people their own age, and developing their writing skills, all while getting paid. Board members must apply and provide supporting documents. Privacy about the youth board members is taken seriously at CUNA. Last names are never shown and information about the youth board members is never sold to third parties.
For a more specific description of the duties for board members at each age level, or if a student is interested, please have him or her contact Kate Neuens, Googolplex Board Liaison, at kneuens@cuna.coop. Please send requests for applications by March 4, 2011.
