This event is open to all youth ages 12-18. Lunch will be provided. Financial Literacy is the confident understanding of concepts including saving, investing and debt that leads to an overall sense of financial well-being and self-trust. It is the foundation of your relationship with money and is a lifelong journey of learning. The earlier you start, the better off you will be. Research shows that a personal finance education helps students avoid payday loans, have better credit outcomes, reduce private student loan balances, and credit card debt. Students who are required to take personal finance courses starting from a young age are more likely to tap lower-cost loans and grants when it comes to paying for college and less likely to rely on private loans or high-interest credit cards, according to a study by Christiana Stoddard and Carly Urban for the National Endowment for Financial Education. All attendees must register for the event including Parents and Guardians to provide us an accurate headcount. Thanks in advance and can't wait to see you there!
