Exchange City & EarthWorks - Kansas City
Exchange City was built in 1980 to teach 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students about the opportunities and responsibilities of citizens in the American free enterprise system. Exchange City is a model city made up of 14 businesses, including retail shops, government offices, media organizations, restaurant, technology center and more. The city comes to life when young people take on the roles of business people and civic leaders who work together to create a thriving metropolis. Entrepreneurial teams collaborate to plan business budgets, develop marketing plans, and provide goods and/services for the model city. In addition to running a business, young citizens learn financial fitness through the management of their own personal finances in regards to check writing, spending practices, and saving and investing in their future.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in 1933 to restore public confidence in the nation’s banking system. The FDIC insures deposits at financial institutions and promotes the safety and soundness of those institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed. In addition, to provide outreach to a nation and bridge the gap between financial institutions and individuals the Community Affairs department fosters initiatives that create positive banking relationships between consumers and financial institutions and move unbanked and underserved consumers into mainstream banking relationships.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) recognizes the importance of financial education, particularly for people with little or no banking experience. That's why we created Money Smart, a training program to help adults outside the financial mainstream enhance their money skills and create positive banking relationships.

Financial education fosters financial stability for individuals, families, and entire communities. The more people know about credit and banking services, the more likely they are to increase savings, buy homes, and improve their financial health and well being. The Money Smart curriculum helps individuals build financial knowledge, develop financial confidence, and use banking services effectively.

The Money Smart program may be used by financial institutions and other organizations interested in sponsoring financial education workshops. Collaboration is important to the success of any education effort. The FDIC encourages banks to work with others in their communities to deliver financial education and appropriate financial services to individuals who may be unfamiliar with the benefits of having a relationship with an insured depository institution.

The Money Smart program can help banks fulfill part of their Community Reinvestment Act obligations. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) encourages federally insured banks and thrifts to help meet the credit needs of their entire community, including areas of low-and moderate-income. When a bank's CRA performance is reviewed, the institution's efforts to provide financial education and other retail services are a positive consideration.

Money Smart is available in two versions: an instructor-led version and a computer-based instruction (CBI) version. Both versions consist of the same 10 modules.

The instructor-led version of Money Smart is for those who plan to teach financial education to others in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, or Russian. A version for the visually impaired is also available.

Each of the 10 modules is structured in an identical manner and includes:
A comprehensive, fully scripted guide for instructors. The guide includes everything necessary to start teaching the program, including easy to follow cues, script, and interactive class exercises. Overheads, in Word and PowerPoint format. Take-home guide for participants. Each module takes between 1-2 hours of classroom time to teach. The modules may be taught in any order or combination.

The CBI version enables individuals to complete Money Smart at their own pace on a computer in English or Spanish. The CBI is available online or can be ordered on CD-ROM.

The FDIC provides the Money Smart curriculum to interested parties free of charge. A limited number of copies are available to each party however, the materials are easily reproduced and have no copyright restrictions.

FDIC staff is available to provide technical assistance and to help facilitate partnerships among interested parties.
