Does your teen need help understanding the basics or importance of savings and credit? In this three-part series, join Sue Katz, an expert from American Consumer Credit Counseling, who will work with teens to build their financial literacy. Ask questions and get answers about how to build credit, the importance of saving, and how to develop good spending habits.

In the third workshop, we will focus on Understanding Credit. Learn why it is so important to build and protect your credit, and how it can impact your finances in the future. Register and receive two handouts that will be used during the series.

Questions and participation welcome. Geared to teens; parents/adults and older tweens welcome. (Students, please do not sign up with your school email.)
