We recently wrapped up an incredible 5-week Financial Literacy Series, taught by Chris from Virginia Credit Union! Each week, Chris helped our participants–both in person and on Zoom–learn the ins and outs of personal finance. Over the course of the series, we explored topics like Banking Basics, Building a Budget, Understanding Credit, Saving Strategies, and Preventing Fraud. To top it off, Chris treated us to pizza on the last day of class! 🍕

A big thank you to Chris for sharing his time, expertise, and enthusiasm with our participants! We’re so grateful for our partnership with Virginia Credit Union and for supporting this important learning opportunity! 💙💵
