Teaching Our Youth Why & How Good Credit Is Important
Credit-Lit is a financial literacy workshop for high school youth. Dionne Perry has seen so often that youth are not exposed to credit scores and issues and then move into adulthood without the skills needed to gain and maintain good credit.
Through this program, students will understand the issues and the full impact of credit to prepare them for a healthy financial future in adulthood.
Following the principles in Dionne Perry’s work set out in Credit-Lit – Credit 101 for Teens, she shares practices for building up good credit and how to maintain credit score in a simplified, digestible format for youth. Through engaging power point presentations, handouts, worksheets and class activities, students will walk away from this two-session course empowered to make smart financial decisions that will set them on the right track for years to come.
