The 720 Financial Literacy campaign is an opportunity to link financial counseling to the community at- large. It is an opportunity for the community to pause and look at their financial situations through several lenses. Knowledge has always been the key to change and empowerment and financial literacy is the road to a healthy credit score which can change lives. Achieving a score of 700 or better can open doors to housing, jobs, and other opportunities for a better life for all.
Generate awareness of free financial literacy resources in the community
Direct all to a directory of resources available for individuals and small businesses to access as needed
Provide free virtual or in-person activities such as workshops, seminars, and more
