WASHINGTON—The CFPB is offering several webinars this month geared toward financial education, including for youth.
According to the Bureau, a free, weekly webinar series addresses resources and tools available via the CFPB’s "Your Money, Your Goals" financial empowerment toolkit. The series is intended for frontline staff and those who work with economically vulnerable populations, and focuses on various financial issues such as savings and credit management.
The webinars will run weekly on Wednesdays from June 10 to July 8 and are slated to begin at 3 p.m. ET. Participation is free, but registration is required. Register for the series here.
In addition, the CFPB, in conjunction with the Interagency Working Group on Youth Programs, will host a webinar on youth financial education on June 8 that it said will bring together subject matter experts and provide an opportunity to share the latest in financial education research.
The webinar will begin at 12 p.m. ET. For more information, visit the CFPB’s website.
The CFPB has previously launched its “Start Small, Save Up” initiative to address the issues found in a 2019 report from the Bureau which found that many consumers don't have enough liquid savings to cover unexpected, emergency expenses. The CFPB has additional financial literacy resources on its website.
