National Financial Literacy Month is now over, however my commitment to the Financial Literacy Movement is still going strong. Last week I was invited to participate in a Hawaiian Resource Night and set-up a table to share Financial Education. I utilized the opportunity to gather data via a survey, share financial education through a trivia game, and also offer attendees a FREE confidential one-on-one Personal Finance Consultation. The event lasted 2 hours and there was non-stop traffic coming by my table. I was able to educate people in a fun way through the trivia game and was able to answer a few on the spot questions in regards to savings products, credit scores, etc. There were about 80 people in attendance and I was able to gather 30 surveys and had 11 people register for their free consultation. The next few weeks I will be meeting with those that took advantage of the consultations and I look forward to helping these individuals who are ready to take control of their finances.
As I continue this journey I have many smaller plans in the works that encompass a Financial Literacy Movement. These smaller projects include a Financial Education Fair and Community Event for the Wai'anae Coast, a pilot program for third and/or fourth graders introducing them to the concept of responsible personal finance, as well as continue to hold workshops through the organizations that invite me to share financial education with their clients.
I want to mahalo everyone for their continued support and I am looking forward to what the future holds for me as well as those who I am able to kokua.
