History & Nonprofit Status
TEMA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Spokane Valley, Washington.
This link opens our business plan from over a decade ago. While some specifics have evolved, our commitment to financial literacy education for students remains unchanged:
How students work with TEMA

Paid Work Study Positions
For students who qualify for state work study, TEMA offers paid roles in a professional office setting, helping them build resume ready experience while contributing to the mission.

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Opportunities: For students who do not qualify for work study, volunteer roles provide similar exposure to financial literacy and career exploration with flexible schedules.
Students assist with administrative support, projects, and outreach, while licensed professionals handle tax preparation
Tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll services are offered by The Extra Mile Academy (TEMA), which operates independently and is not affiliated with Corey’s broker dealer Cetera Advisors LLC. These services are conducted as an approved outside business activity of Cetera Advisors LLC.
Giving students the skills, experience, and opportunities that will last them a lifetime.
From budgeting to investing, to buying a home and managing debt, we provide students with the practical, critical financial literacy skills we wish were offered in school.
We match students with internship opportunities that not only match their interests and aptitudes, but also give them a chance to try out careers, helping them find not only what they want to do, but for whom they want to do it for.
