As a CASA volunteer, you play a pivotal role in preparing youth for the complexities of adulthood, and perhaps no skill is more critical to long-term stability than financial literacy. To support you in this vital aspect of advocacy, we are proud to partner with US Bank to present a specialized two-part webinar series. These sessions are designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical tools necessary to mentor transition-age youth as they learn to navigate their personal finances and build a secure foundation for their future. Webinar 1: Fundamental Financial Management The first session in our series focuses on the essential building blocks of daily financial stability. We will explore the mechanics of effective budgeting and the importance of establishing a healthy relationship with banking institutions. A significant portion of this discussion will focus on the nuances of debt management and the critical role credit plays in a young person's ability to secure housing and employment. In an increasingly digital world, we will share practical fraud-prevention strategies to help youth protect their identities and hard-earned assets from predatory practices. By mastering these fundamentals, you can better help youth avoid common financial pitfalls as they transition to independence.
