Money & Me is a hands-on experience that teaches teenagers the basics of money and how to make it work for them. The program covers budgeting, credit advantages and pitfalls, savings and checking accounts, how to save for a big purchase and investing for the future.
“In the past year, we have seen how essential it is to ensure that all Americans gain the financial literacy they need to thrive,” said Diane LaVigna-Wixted, executive director of the New York Credit Union Foundation. “By providing credit unions with the tools to present Money & Me in their communities, we can start educating the next generation of savers and investors here and now.”
