About Invest
Who We Are
Invest is a nonprofit organization that works with high schools, community colleges and workforce development programs to educate individuals on insurance, financial literacy and risk management, while encouraging the pursuit of insurance careers.
Founded in 1970 at Hollywood High School by the Independent Insurance Agents of Los Angeles, Invest started out educating students in insurance to become better insurance consumers. As time went on, it expanded to teach insurance agency and company operations, as well as encourage students to pursue insurance careers.
Invest Resources
We provide comprehensive educational materials and tools necessary to launch an Invest insurance education program in schools across the country. These interactive materials created to appeal to young people include an online e-book, lesson plans, textbooks and activities. Best of all, the resources are free to our schools thanks to the generous support of partner companies and independent insurance agents.

Success Stories
As a current Invest board member, I have the opportunity to hear from educators and students on their positive experience with the program and course curriculum that the Invest Program provides.
Doug Mohr, VP, Industry Relations & Partnerships at Vertafore
Our industry is approaching a critical juncture as many key insurance leaders retire in the coming years and we desperately need to introduce and educate young people on the benefits of working in this business.
The relationships that Invest has built in the education community are critical to insuring that we don’t encounter a labor issue in the insurance industry in the near future.
I learned about insurance in my Invest class at Sacopee Valley High School (Maine) and spent some time at Hanover Insurance as an intern.
Stacy Leavitt, Graduate
After working in a few different agencies- learning about processing and claims- I was offered a job at Chalmers Insurance Group. There I developed additional skills working in various departments and my manager helped me to join the company’s leadership program.
I was able to advance quickly and eventually became a Commercial Accounts Manager. It’s a job I really enjoy and Chalmers continues to be a great place for me to pursue my career.
I encourage high school students to learn as much as they can about insurance because it will always be a part of their lives. And if you choose to work in this industry, you can have a rewarding career helping others protect their future.
