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 4: Earning Income
From chores to creative projects, there are lots of ways to earn! Learn how to turn ideas and effort into income while building responsibility and independence. Participants will be able to identify different ways to earn money (allowance, chores, small jobs, entrepreneurship), understand the relationship between work, effort, and income, learn the basics of setting earning goals and tracking income, and recognize how earned money can be used, saved, or shared responsibly.
Presented by Desert Financial Credit Union.
Free & open to the public. Registration is required. Space is limited. All supplies will be provided.
