This is a great opportunity for parents to teach their children about money, banking, credit and investing at no cost. Athena Williams, Project Coordinator of the Monroe Foundation, will discuss concrete strategies for creating a budget, saving money and managing a checking account.

After this session, youth and their parents and guardians will be able to open interest bearing savings accounts for the youth with a $25.00 deposit. The first 20 youth to open an account will received an additional $25.00 matching funds deposit for their accounts.

The Monroe Foundation was organized in 1991 to provide technical assistance to community development projects seeking to change the conditions of their communities. Athena Williams, Project Coordinator with The Monroe Foundation, has been providing Financial Literacy to the "unbanked" communities in efforts to bring mainstream financial services to all communities.

The Parent University is founded on the idea that parents are the first, best, and most important teachers for their children. This program gives parents the proper information, support, guidance and training they need to be effective in that role.
