brass|MAGAZINE is a lifestyle magazine about life and money written entirely for young adults like you. It is written by young adults and teaches you, through interesting articles, how to make, manage, and multiply money. Supporting credit unions in New York State have made it possible for classroom sets of the brass|MAGAZINE Student Edition to arrive in public high schools about the middle of the month in February, August, and November. Since schools are not is session during the summer, the May issue is available online.
Each public high school in the state receives a classroom set equal to 10% of their junior and senior student enrollment (e.g., if you have 500 juniors and seniors combined, your school will receive 50 copies). If you have not seen the magazine in your school, be sure to ask your principal and business education teachers where you can see a copy.
The material in the magazine can be integrated with two other great programs for learning about life and financial concepts—the NEFE® High School Financial Planning Program® (HSFPP) and the LifeSmarts program. Be sure to take a look at these two programs and tell your classroom teachers about them.
