• Who We Are

The Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to provide high-quality education to everyone, everywhere. Learn more about our work on our website (www.oppia.org)

• What Our Financial Literacy (FinLit) Lesson Team Does

As a member of our FinLit Lesson Team, you will:

• Draft finlit curricula for young learners.
• Write lessons using Oppia tools. You will teach a finlit topic, so that learners are introduced to key finlit concepts in a manner easy to understand, and within a real-world setting.
• Devise questions that gradually increase in difficulty, and that help learners test their skills and understanding.
• Implement interactive lessons on the Oppia platform, and improve those lessons based on feedback from learners.

• How we Operate

Our focus is on effectiveness, and we use rigorous testing and research to create educational materials tailored to the needs of underserved learners. Our meetings are held online, making it easy to collaborate with our passionate volunteers from around the world.

• What You Will Gain
• You will gain expertise in translating complex finlit concepts into effective student-centered instruction.
• You'll sharpen your craft through the discipline of children's content, where there's no jargon to hide behind — just clear, precise language that makes you better across all your work.
• You'll do work that visibly matters, contributing standard learning content to children who face inequality in accessing quality education around the world.
• Gain expertise working with an international community of volunteers who are passionate about bridging the education gap across the world.
• You'll grow as a professional, building curriculum development, project management and collaboration skills that make you more valuable to every client you work with.
• Get a certificate of recognition and LinkedIn recommendation for your contributions (if you so desire).
