Financial Literacy for Young Adults

Course Description:

As high school students approach graduation, college entrance, and beyond, they often face a great deal of confusion about money matters: it’s there, it’s not, it’s lost in the shuffle now that cash is entering obsolescence and plastic seems to be the way of things. Many students may already have a credit card or checking/savings account, but do they really understand what happens every time they swipe/tap/insert credit cards or type in credit card information online?

This course is about starting a conversation about money and credit and how to get on track and stay on track. Entering college and on to adulthood, several things may happen that can boost or sink credit scores and/or savings accounts. In session, we will try to identify some of those big moments and ways to save now for when life happens any time, and hopefully avoid the avoidable debts.
