Write LifeSmarts Questions
Each summer, NCL staff and volunteers writes 1,500 new LifeSmarts questions to keep the program content current and relevant for teen consumers. Share your expertise in personal finance, health and safety, technology, the environment or consumer rights and responsibilities, by helping us write questions for the upcoming program year.
