Bite of Reality—Financial Literacy Workshops
Balancing Budgets and Real-Life Choices
"Helping young people build strong money habits early is one of the most impactful ways credit unions invest in their communities. Building a solid foundation in financial literacy can shape a person’s future — influencing everything from career choices to long-term financial well-being.
By meeting students where they are — and making financial literacy feel relevant and real — credit unions are helping young people gain the confidence and knowledge to take control of their financial futures." - Alyse Knudsen, GoWest Foundation
