3. COMMUNITY:
BUILDING NATIVE COMMUNITIES: FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT FOR TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS
December 5, 2023 – December 7, 20236363 Taft Street, Hollywood, FL 33024 Building Native Communities: Financial Empowerment for Teens & Young Adults offers expert training from certified instructors with firsthand experience in Native communities, who are committed to empowering Native communities throughout the country. Financial literacy is an essential skill on the path to a healthy financial well-being and vital to building an empowered financial foundation for all Native communities and strong Tribal economies. Our youth need these skill sets to help bridge the gap between being a novice or an expert in financial literacy knowledge, which is the difference between simply understanding how money works and how to spend it, to important life skills like budgeting, developing a spending plan, savings, paying bills, building a nest egg, paying for an education, buying a home, investing, etc. Join us for a two and a half-day, state-of-the-art, interactive instructor training to help Native CDFIs, Tribal communities, and other Native organizations establish and sustain financial education programs tailored for youth in our communities. Registration is FREE for Native Americans and those working within Indian Country.
