Monitoring and Evaluation of Financial Programs Internship Background: The Aspira Association, a national Latino youth organization, works to empower the Puerto Rican and Latino community through advocacy and the education and development of its youth. Aspira has received a grant through the Citigroup Summer Internship Program to support a paid summer position within Aspira's Community Wealth Development Initiative (CWDI). CWDI currently consists of three corporate-sponsored programs dedicated to enhancing general financial education, developing entrepreneurship skills for youth, and providing an overview of insurance for youth and adults. Each program provides bilingual, culturally-sensitive information to the communities Aspira serves in the United States and Puerto Rico. With all three programs entering their second year of implementation, Aspira is poised to expand and deepen its outreach. Additionally, the organization is seeking to address other areas of economic need within the Latino community through new education programs in homeownership, retirement planning, and saving for college. Position Responsibilities: The Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Intern will perform a detailed impact assessment of Aspira’s three financial education programs under the Community Wealth Development Initiative. He or she will gather quantitative and qualitative date on each existing program while performing basic feasibility studies on areas where Aspira hopes to expand. The expected outcomes
