Service Description
This group focuses on equipping teens ages 14–17 with essential financial literacy and real-life skills in a supportive, engaging, and nonclinical environment. These sessions help youth develop practical knowledge about money management, financial responsibility, and future planning, empowering them to make informed decisions and gain confidence in handling everyday life skills. Workshops include interactive discussions, hands-on activities, and relatable examples to ensure teens walk away with real-world financial skills. Money Mindset & Financial Goals: This session introduces teens to the basics of financial literacy, including the importance of setting financial goals, understanding money mindset, and developing healthy attitudes about earning, saving, and spending. Budgeting Basics: Youth learn how to create a simple budget, understand needs vs. wants, and practice building realistic spending plans. Activities include mock budgets and financial scenario games to help solidify concepts. Saving for the Future: Participants explore savings strategies, the power of compound interest, and ways to set aside money even on a small income. Practical takeaways include creating a personal savings goal and understanding basic bank account options. Smart Spending Habits: Teens discuss how advertising affects spending habits, learn to spot impulsive purchases, and practice decision-making skills to become mindful consumers. Activities include mock shopping scenarios and a "spend smarter" checklist. Introduction to Credit & Debt: Youth learn the basics of credit, loans, and responsible borrowing. Sessions explain credit scores in simple terms and explore how debt can impact future goals. Building Teen Income Streams: This workshop introduces ideas for side hustles, part-time work, and entrepreneurship for teens. Activities include brainstorming income ideas, mock business planning, and discussions on balancing work, school, and personal time. This group encourages teens to develop financial confidence, practical life skills, and a proactive mindset toward money. Small group settings provide opportunities for personalized learning, peer discussion, and hands-on practice, helping teens feel empowered and prepared for real-world financial responsibilities.

To keep it that way, everyone must follow these important rules while participating in any class, workshop, or group session.

If your camera is off and you ignore two reminders from the facilitator, you will be removed from the session for safety reasons.
