Financial Literacy Programs
Ms. Savage:
I’m writing to see if you have any recommendations for financial literacy programs, particularly aimed at financially challenged communities. I’m exploring resources for an organization on the South Side who may be interested in offering education in this area. CFPB has some good materials but they don’t rise to the level of an overall curriculum. There also appear to be a confusing array of non-profits who provide “courses” (Association of Financial Educators; National Financial Educators Council; Council of Financial Educators) but it’s unclear to me if any are reputable. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

I’m quite sure all of the above are reputable. But here’s another great place to start. Jumpstart Coalition has been in the center of literacy education for many years. check them out: https://www.jumpstart.org/
