PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This engaging and interactive program aims to instill a strong foundation of financial knowledge, fostering responsible financial habits that will serve participants throughout their lives. Empower Finance is a transformative journey towards financial empowerment, ensuring that the families and communities are well-prepared to make informed financial decisions and secure a prosperous future.
The program is designed to educate individuals about various aspects of personal finance, helping them make informed and responsible financial decisions. The program covers a wide range of topics to enhance participant’s understanding of money management, budgeting, investing, credit, and other key financial concepts. The program structure encompasses a series of financial literacy workshops that are curated and tailored for the specific audience, in order to meet the students, parents, and teachers/staff where they are in terms of their baseline of financial literacy comprehension.
The structure of each workshop entails 45-minutes in which NY Life financial experts provide an interactive presentation about basic financial principles that allows audience members to better set themselves up for future financial success. Following the 45-minute presentation, there are 45-minutes of breakout sessions in which audience members have the opportunity to speak 1-on-1 with the financial experts about subjects that they are specifically curious about. The subject areas and level of detail covered during the workshop are contingent on the audience’s implied or assumed level of financial literacy competence.
