The SCJ Business Leadership Council began researching the possibility of developing a program to satisfy the growing need and demand for sound financial literacy in the Latino community. This vision is now a reality as workshops are planned throughout the year. Aside from financial support, the sponsors, including, TCF Bank, and State Farm Insurance and Financial Services, are sending experts to lead FFLS sessions, and will have representatives available at interactive informational booths, where program participants will receive information from financial institutions. |

LIFE – Latinos Investing in Financial Education |
During FFLS sessions, employed individuals, both alumni and community members, have expressed an interest in learning about specific topics that pertain to them as established, working adults, including college financial assistance, asset building, retirement planning, investment information, credit scores/ratings, will and estate planning, homeownership, and entrepreneurship.
LIFE seeks to provide individual financial planning in more in-depth comprehensive sessions. While FFLS has proven to be useful to those just entering the workforce and gaining full-time employment, SCJ is reaching out to those who are already employed or who would like to start their own business in order to help develop long-term strategies for financial stability and growth.
Through the funding of Citigroup Foundation’s Community Scholar Intern Program (CSIP), SCJ is soliciting feedback and surveys of community members to uncover additional specific financial needs of employed individuals of the surrounding neighborhoods and provide more in-depth, comprehensive financial education that will help working adults to plan their financial futures.
