Teen Week: Financial Literacy Workshop

What happens when your paycheck meets the real cost of living?

This interactive financial literacy workshop challenges teens to experience what it takes to manage money in the real world. Participants will explore budgeting, income and expenses, checking and savings accounts, debit and credit, responsible spending, saving, and everyday financial decision-making.

Using today's cost of living, teens will be challenged to make choices about housing, transportation, food, utilities, entertainment, and other expenses while determining whether their income is enough to cover their lifestyle—or whether they end up living paycheck to paycheck.

Presented by DeMarcus Curry, the workshop is designed to make financial literacy practical, engaging, and relevant while helping teens understand an important lesson: It's not only about how much money you make—it's also about how you manage it.

This program is for ages 13-18.
