About the event
💬 What Went Down
We kicked off May with real talk about real money. At our Cash Flow Confidence workshop, high schoolers and community members came together to learn how to budget smarter, spend better, and build financial habits that last.
With support from Citizen’s Business Bank, youth got real-world advice on saving, banking, and getting started with financial independence—even before their first job.
💸 What We Covered
✔ Building a budget that fits your lifestyle
✔ Opening your first savings and checking accounts
✔ Understanding banks vs. credit unions vs. high-yield savings
✔ Healthy spending habits you can actually stick with
✔ How to set savings goals—and hit them
🎯 Why It Mattered
That first paycheck goes fast. This workshop helped students and families learn how to make every dollar count and avoid common money mistakes early.
We talked budgeting. We talked banking. We talked about how to make money work for you—not the other way around.
