Youth Expressions Financial Literacy
Teens must understand the ability to save and understand the uses of money. Students will take advantage of hands on experience, as they learn about finance, check writing, responsibility and issue regarding credit. Youth Expressions has a goal and a duty to young adults and current students to help them maintain financial success. More students drop out of college due to teen accumulated debt than for academic reasons. Knowing how unacceptable this is, our program will enhance the financial success rate in central Ohio.
