About this workshop
Banking is important to understand because participation in banking services is typically one's first exposure to the financial world. Most often we depend on banks and credit unions to safeguard our money so it is helpful to understand what they are doing with our money and how keeping our money in a bank or credit union can be beneficial. In this section, we introduce financial institutions, how they work and how students can utilize them in managing their money.
Fix-It Fair PDX has partnered up with Financial Beginnings Oregon to bring a series of Financial Wellness classes to our community members! This program provides the financial knowledge and strategies that help reduce debt and manage financial barriers. Participants will develop personalized financial goals such as establishing an emergency savings fund or developing a plan to build and fix credit.
