C&N is teaming up with the American Bankers Association Foundation’s Get Smart About Credit program as part of an ongoing effort to teach teens how to manage their money.
Now in its 18th year, Get Smart About Credit is a national campaign of volunteer bankers who visit classrooms and community organizations across the country to help teach young people about credit and other important financial lessons. However, this year, due to the ongoing pandemic, lesson plans have been adapted to accommodate a virtual learning environment.
C&N will present virtual lessons on financial obstacles facing teens, including saving for the unexpected, paying for college, building good credit habits, managing their money, and protecting their identity.
