Since the inception of this blog I have been blessed by being asked to share some manaʻo about financial literacy/education to 2 different groups. The first group are young adults who are sophomore college interns. The second group are parents of children ages 0-5 years old.
I am thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in these young lives. There are many things someone told me about money and finances when I was in college, seeing as it was during those 4 years in my undergrad program that I made most of my financial mistakes. If each college student can just walk away with one little bit of information that will help them as they finish college and enter in to the work force, then I know that they will have a leg up in life.
For the parents and pre-school children, if I can empower the parents to talk about money with their children at a young age and teach them the skills necessary to be successful in life then these keiki will have an additional head start in life. My objective is to also have the parents of these children learn a skill or two about the way in which they handle their finances and be mindful of the example that they are giving to their children.
I hope to gain some feedback from these two groups to be able to apply to my future work as a Financial Educator and to help guide the principles on which I develop my future non-profit organization.
I will be sure to post on my experience with both groups and I know that it will be an engaging learning experience for the 2 groups as well as myself.
