Financial Literacy Movement Update

Here is the latest news on the Financial Literacy Movement here in Wai'anae.

On-Going Personal Finance Consultations
I have been meeting with clients for a FREE 90 Minute One-on-One Confidential Personal Finance Consultation for the past month. I work with the individual or family to assess their current financial situation and help them develop a plan to meet their financial goals.

Upcoming Workshops
Money Talks For Kids
I have been asked to facilitate a workshop for parents of children 0-3 years old who participate in the INPEACE Parents as Teachers Program in June. It will be a 60 minute engaging workshop that will focus on talking about money with young keiki and letting families know that it's never too early to start learning about finances.

Ready for the "Real World" Series
I will be holding a FREE workshop for the Graduates of the Class of 2013 and their families in Waianae this summer. Whether going off to college in the mainland, continuing education right here at home, or entering the workforce, the workshops will include valuable information to prepare graduates for the "real world" and set them on the right path to financial wellness and responsibility.

Future Events
I recently submitted an application for a micro-grant from Awesome Foundation O'ahu. If awarded, the monies will go towards holding a Waianae Coast Financial Literacy Fair. This will be an engaging and interactive family event that will consist of various service providers, break out sessions, guest speakers and interactive financial learning activities for children and youth. This event will be held late summer/ early fall. If I do not receive the micro-grant that I applied for, I will seek alternative funding through sponsorships and/or kickstarter.

If you are interested in any information about the above information please contact me at (808) 542-6245 or saydeepojas@gmail.com. I am also looking for volunteers and those who would like to become a part of the financial literacy movement.
