Financial Literacy in Your Community
When you think of reaching out to your community, it may be your immediate neighborhood, your borough, or the city as a whole.

Your community may also be a group of people who share an identity, regardless of where they live. For example, they may have children the same age or aging parents they want to help. They may be nearing retirement, coping with debt, or eager to know how to save for the future.

However you define communities, they offer you an exceptional forum for sharing your commitment to financial literacy.

Introducing Financial Basics
When you’re financially literate, you have the life skills that are essential for making smart financial decisions. These include using a debit card, understanding how interest and compounding work, and saving for specific goals.

Meeting Financial Goals
People of all ages need to make financial decisions that will help them meet their financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement, a college education for their children, or a home of their own.

Helping People Get Back on Track
Helping people get on the right financial track might mean something as simple as opening a savings account, developing a budget and spending plan, learning strategies for coping with debt, or making smart credit decisions.
