The goal of the Department of Financial Institutions’ educational outreach program is to help consumers take informed action when managing their finances. DFI offers free financial literacy materials and workshops to K-12 schools, colleges, libraries, adult community education centers, civic organizations, county extension offices, churches and other public groups. Topics include banking, investing, lending, credit, budgeting, fraud awareness and financial institutions regulation. There is no cost for speakers or materials, and workshops can be tailored to suit the audience age and experience level.
To schedule a presentation, email Tasha Stewart or call 502-782-8818.
Please note that materials on investing are not intended to give investment advice or tell participants who to invest with or what to purchase. Presentations and take-home materials are designed to provide a basic understanding of concepts and prepare participants to research and make wise financial decisions.
