Award winning video: Youth financial literacy

A three minute clip from the 17 minute video that won a National Extension Association for Family Consumer Sciences (NEAFCS) team communication award for TV.





The NEAFCS honored Will Mikell, producer of Across the Fence (ATF), Keith Silva, ATF Senior Videographer, Gregg Mousley, Vermont Jumpstart Coalition President and Judy Branch, Extension Specialist, with a Team Communications Award for creating a youth financial literacy video. The team TV award was announced at the national annual conference in St Paul in September. The video promoted two Vermont Extension supported events for youth financial education: a VT Jumpstart Conference and the High School Financial Planning Program the National Endowment for Financial Education provides without charge to teachers, home-school parents and human service educators for financial education.
