The Ultimate Consumer Challenge
NH Jump$tart welcomes you to LifeSmarts,
a unique consumer knowledge competition designed for teenagers in grades
9 – 12. New Hampshire Jump$tart is pleased to once again serve as
the Granite State’s LifeSmarts Coordinator for the 2007– 2008
academic year.
LifeSmarts
concentrates on several crucial areas of real life: Personal Finance;
Health and Safety; Environment; Technology; and Consumer Rights and Responsibilities.
By working together to learn about these key topics
and test their knowledge via the Internet, LifeSmarts
participants have fun while becoming well-informed consumers. At the same
time, they will be competing against other NH teams to become one of the
six highest scoring teams that will make it to the State Championship
in March. The NH State Champion earns the right to compete with dozens
of other teams in the National Finals in Minneapolis!
NH Jump$tart is committed to helping teenagers become knowledgeable and
successful adults.
We will defray the costs for all six teams that qualify to compete in the State Championship, including transportation, meals, team shirts, and other materials. We will also cover the costs for the NH State Champion’s competitors and coach to represent our state in the National Finals.
