Rehmann, a fully integrated professional advisory firm, announced its partnership with the Michigan Jump$tart Coalition, an organization dedicated to improving personal financial literacy among Michigan’s young adults.
This partnership, which coincides with National Financial Literacy Month, aims to bridge a critical gap that is vital to our state’s economic health. Currently, 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and just 24% of millennials demonstrate basic financial literacy. By aligning Rehmann’s continuous learning culture with Jump$tart’s mission to advance financial education statewide, this initiative works to combat these statistics.
“Supporting education and our communities are pillars of our firm,” said Scott Bonacorsi, Chief People Officer of Rehmann. “Our partnership with the Michigan Jump$tart Coalition further extends that commitment and equips educators with vital resources to enrich their students’ lives.”

As one of the original advocates of National Financial Literacy Month, the Jump$tart Coalition is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, with local affiliate chapters around the country, including Michigan Jump$tart. They are committed to advancing financial literacy through collective and collaborative endeavors.
“Our mission is to provide Michigan’s youth with the tools they need for financial independence, and that starts with empowering our educators,” said Joe Koss, Michigan Jump$tart Coalition Board Chair. “Partnering with Rehmann allows us to invest in our teachers, ensuring that the next generation of Michiganders is equipped to navigate the complexities of the economy with confidence.”
As part of this collaboration, Rehmann will sponsor travel costs for two Michigan teachers to attend Jump$tart’s National Educators Conference (NEC) in Aurora, Colorado, from November 6-8, 2026. The conference is a premier annual professional development event for pre-K-12 educators who teach personal finance with a focus on enhancing financial education in classrooms through collaboration, resources and networking.
“This is the conference that I look forward to the most each and every year. To be surrounded by professionals who all have a common goal of educating our youth about personal finance and who share the same passion is truly an honor and an amazing experience,” said Amy Broekhuizen, a teacher and previous event participant. “Every year I learn something new that I can immediately bring back to my classroom to share with my students.”
The application for teachers to apply opened on April 1st and will remain open until August 14th. Teachers can apply here by submitting a 200-word max explanation of why they would benefit from attending the conference.
