The Finance and Investment Challenge Bowl (FICB) is a quiz bowl tournament for high school students, testing their knowledge of personal finance and economics.FICB helps meet the need for better financial literacy by reinforcing classroom education at very little additional cost to the schools, and aligns with the new Wisconsin teaching and learning standards in economics and personal finance. In our typical format, student teams meet at a tournament which celebrates their learning in an atmosphere of friendly competition. The tournament takes place as a “field trip” during the school day and lasts from 8:30 am until approximately 1:30 pm. Due to the covid pandemic, we will conduct FICB virtually but still need volunteers. Several games are held simultaneously throughout the day and we allow one hour per game. Each game is staffed by a volunteer quizmaster, scorekeeper, and several judges. Volunteer roles are:
1. Quizmaster. Reads the questions/works with judges to decide if student answers are correct (we provide questions and answers in a handout)/in general has control of the game to keep on schedule, make sure questions are asked in the correct sequence, etc. Quizmasters need good knowledge of the subject matter and the personality to be comfortable speaking “in public” (actually on camera) and have some give and take with the students to make it fun and educational for them
2. Scorekeeper. Keeps score and announces it several times during each game so students know where they stand in the game. The math is not hard…adding and subtracting 5s and 10s.
3. Judges (2 or 3 per room). Some questions are multiple choice and the judges don’t have a role with those. But for the open-ended/short answer questions, student answers sometimes need interpretation and close listening to decide if a given answer is correct (and deserves points) or is incorrect. Judges can “talk among themselves” to decide if answers are correct and quizmasters can weigh in on correctness also.

WHAT IS A TSIC MENTOR?A mentor is a caring, compassionate adult who chooses to devote their time to a young person, offering them support, guidance, and encouragement. If you can donate 30 minutes per week, you can change a life by helping a child build a solid foundation of values, establish goals, improve their academic and life skills, while developing their self-esteem and confidence. Read about our local mentor Ron Rodgers' experience at www.takestockinchildren.org/resources/mentors/mentor-success-stories/ron-rodgers
WHY BECOME A MENTOR?
Our success rate at Take Stock in Children is a result of a comprehensive approach provided by our program. One of the key and proven success factors is the role of the mentor. More and more people want to have a lasting, profound impact in their community. They understand that the commitment of becoming a mentor can change a child’s life while helping them grow personally. Can you remember adults who paid attention to you; who believed in you; and who guided you during your childhood? These individuals served as mentors. Wouldn’t you like to have someone think of you as their life-changing, trusted mentor?
WHERE & WHEN DOES MENTORING OCCUR?
Mentoring sessions range from 30-60 minutes and occur virtually or on a school campus near your home or workplace, during the student's lunch. With the current pandemic, virtual mentoring has been taking place. The days and times of mentoring sessions are arranged between the mentor and mentee depending on their individual schedules and classes. As a result, mentoring is convenient for both students and mentors.
HOW DO I BECOME A MENTOR?
Take Stock in Children mentors learn the principles and guidelines of school-based, academic-focused mentoring. They participate in an orientation session and receive a manual that contains tools for addressing the general needs of their students: improving grades, preparing for college, career planning, and developing life skills.
If you would like to mentor a student, please complete the application or request an application from our office. The steps to become a Take Stock in Children mentor are listed below:
Visit https://www.futuresvolusia.org/Become-A-Take-Stock-in-Children--TSIC--Mentor-6-19.html for links to the mentor application.
Once your Take Stock in Children mentor application is received, a mentor training session will be scheduled.
A background check will be completed with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
After the mentor training and background check have been completed, you will be paired with a Take Stock in Children scholar.

ENGLISH:We advocate for quality education that is free and available to all. The most important part of this is our one-to-one classes and personalised materials that allow students to learn at their own pace according to their needs. After a short training period in which educators are introduced to the curriculum and shown our (top-secret) techniques the teaching can begin!
Educators stay with us for at least 6 weeks and are paired with the same students throughout this period to ensure continuity and build familiarity between teacher and pupils. They also become a big part of their students’ lives and get to know their parents and families who love and cherish our volunteers who come from around the world to offer them such invaluable help. For volunteers in Beirut this means that you will experience the incredible hospitality and kindness of our families in the form dinner invites. We guarantee our volunteers two things – they will love their students, and they won’t taste better food.
Our goal is to erase the barrier between educator and student and open a door to friendship and companionship. Thus, our educators are not mere teachers, they are a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, a friendly smile, an older sibling.

ESPAÑOL:
En 26 Letters luchamos para hacer que la educación sea no solo gratuita, sino también igualitaria y de calidad. Por ello, ofrecemos clases particulares y personalizamos nuestros materiales educativos para asegurarnos de que los estudiantes aprenden a su propio ritmo y que sus necesidades concretas son escuchadas y atendidas.
Nuestrxs educadores vienen de todas partes del mundo y hacen un mínimo de 6 semanas de voluntariado con nosotrxs. Nada más llegar a Beirut participan en una formación acelerada, en la cual aprenden nuestras técnicas de enseñanza y se familiarizan con nuestros materiales educativos. Tras el entrenamiento cada persona voluntaria es asignada un máximo de tres estudiantes. De esta manera nos aseguramos de que lxs educadores puedan centrar toda su atención, energía y cuidado en los estudiantes que les han sido asignados.
Lxs educadores juegan un papel fundamental en la vida de sus estudiantes ya que no solo pasan tiempo con ellos en la escuela, sino que también realizan actividades extraescolares juntxs. Además, lxs educadores también suelen crear lazos de amistad con las familias de sus estudiantes y (lo mejor de todo) ¡suelen ser invitadxs a todas las cenas familiares!
Sin duda, a nuestrxs estudiantes y educadores les une un vínculo más fuerte que la educación: les une la amistad, el cariño, la confianza y el sentimiento de pertenecer a una misma familia. Es por esto que entre ellxs se llaman “hermanxs”.
