Financial Counseling fosters financial stability for individuals, families, and entire communities. The more people know about credit and banking services, the more likely they are to increase savings, buy homes, and improve their financial health and well being.
Legacy International along with various banks are working in their communities to deliver financial education and appropriate financial services to individuals who may not have a relationship with an insured depository institution.
These program can help banks fulfill part of their Community Reinvestment Act obligations. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA) encourages federally insured banks and thrifts to help meet the credit needs of their entire community, including areas of low-and moderate-income. When a bank's CRA performance is reviewed, the institution's efforts to provide financial education and other retail services are a positive consideration.
Our younger generations are ready to learn about money, and it’s up to community leaders to ensure that they have access to quality financial literacy curriculum. By providing today’s youth practical financial training we can help them avoid debt issues, poor spending habits and help them recognize decisions that align with their lifestyle goals.
One of the first things you want to check when reviewing financial literacy curriculum is who actually designed it. Make sure that the lesson plans you decide to use have been designed by professionals who understand both the theory and practical application of good money management skills.
Legacy International has sought out the best of the financial
organizations and found a life skill curriculum that's friendly and accessible and easy-to-understand will directly impact your life. These organizations offer this to you as a free service in conjunction with the life skills training that is being offered at Legacy International Life Center & Campus
