FINANCIAL LITERACY

Picture
SAFF has completed the filming and editing of 10 five minute modules on Financial Literacy:  

''THINK RICHLY: LEARN TO EARN!"
 
Middle and high school youths as well as a few of our tutors and community partners worked very hard to help create this important project.
 
Module 2 is now up on SAFF's web site: educatefosteryouth.org 
​
And Mod 3 will be up shortly. Take a quick minute to vie the modules and answer the questions. 

 
Youths and their friends, adult guardians, tutors, teachers are watching the second module now, and having fun answering the questions. The title of MODULE 2  is "How to Obtain Important Documents for Identification.". Adults you might want to watch it and answer the questions. You may surprise yourself with your answers.
 
We will post new modules every couple of weeks. The modules cover identity theft, credit card management, applying for college or vocational skills, writing scholarship essays, avoiding predatory loan shops, FAFSA and financial aid, government versus private student loans, and more.
