Program Description
Event Details
Prescott Valley Public Library will be offering six workshops on financial literacy and basic money management skills geared towards kids ages 9-12 in collaboration with Desert Financial Credit Union.
*Please note that these are stand-alone workshops and they do not build on each other so registrants can attend any sessions of interest.
Through hands-on activities, educational videos, and real-world examples, participants will explore key financial concepts like spending wisely, saving for goals, giving thoughtfully, earning income, growing money through investing, and borrowing responsibly.
Each session encourages kids to think critically about their choices, set personal goals, and develop healthy money habits that last a lifetime. Whether they’re learning how to budget their allowance, start a small business idea, or understand how banks work, tweens will gain practical skills to make smart financial decisions now and in the future.
Perfect for curious minds ready to take their first steps toward financial independence! Come ready to ask questions and speak to professionals about leveling up your money management skills!
Session 3: Giving Thoughtfully
Money can do more than buy things -- it can help others, too! Discover the joy of giving and explore creative ways to make a positive impact in your community. Participants will be able to understand the role of generosity in personal finance, identify ways to give time, talent, or money to help others, explore how giving can strengthen communities and personal values, and learn how to plan for charitable giving as part of a budget.
Presented by Desert Financial Credit Union.
Free & open to the public. Registration is required. Space is limited. All supplies will be provided.
