Hey YRPC! INTRODUCING OUR JANUARY GA Financial literacy is an essential topic in today’s day and age, but often overlooked for teenagers. Many times, it is seen as something that you will have to figure out on your own as you get older. However, the earlier that students receive this knowledge, the earlier they can start putting it into action, applying and practicing those skills! As such, our GA will be centered around the theme of personal budgeting in particular, and ...how money can be utilized and managed effectively by students now, as well as in the future. We’ll be hosting this event on Tuesday, January 26th from 7 to 9 PM via Zoom We’ll be inviting engaging speakers to provide insights on budgeting for youth and host fun activities and workshops all about personal finance! Come on out and learn how you can save smart to have some extra cash in your pockets! To sign up, please fill out our registration form with the link in our bio!
