Tufts Economics Society

I interviewed an E-Board member from the Tufts Economics Society and found that they could really be a potential. The member was talking about how they had talks of starting a Financial Literacy Program a couple years ago but were never really able to get it off the ground. This year, they've divided the group up into different categories and one of them is titled "Community Service/Outreach." This year they are thinking of working with The Boys and Girls Club of Middlesex County to teach the middle-schoolers about financial concepts like saving and creating budgets. They were also talking about working with a woman from the "Tisch College of Financial Literacy" (if such a thing exists-unsure). All these things that the Ec Society is working on are things that we talked about in class last time (in particlar the financial literacy programs). Therefore, I see the Economics Society as being a great potential!
