What is a Workshop?
Workshops are interactive learning sessions that teach teens essential financial literacy skills in an engaging, hands-on way. Whether attending a live session or joining virtually, teens participate in activities, discussions, and real-world examples that help them grow their money skills and learn more about the greater world of finance.
