Financial Literacy is important for everyone, but especially for young people! We have two virtual webinars coming up to help teens who want to learn more about money, like setting up a budget, understanding financial terms and institutions, and understanding credit and making good money decisions. Led by financial professionals from Silicon Valley, you will have a chance to learn from experts and participate in the Q&A portion of the class as well!
Class #1: Introduction to Money Basics for Teens
Wednesday, April 22nd, 6-7 PM
In this class we will discuss what financial institutions are, the different types, and what products, services, and tools they provide to help you manage your money. We will also provide simple definitions of various financial terms that you may have heard before but did not fully understand.
Class #2: Understanding Credit and Making Good Money Decisions for Teens
Wednesday, April 29th, 6-7 PM
In this class, we will discuss what a credit score is, why credit matters, how to build good credit, what your responsibility is, and what to look for to protect your credit.
