Youth Financial Well-being: COVID-19 Considerations
COVID-19 has disrupted our normal flows of information and left us with more questions about the future. Join us for virtual conversations on Youth Financial Well-being, to connect with local experts who are providing up to date information and guidance to youth, as well as youth themselves who will share what their concerns and considerations have been and how they have navigated this “next normal.”
These interactive sessions will also provide lots of opportunity for youth to discuss in small groups what their questions and concerns are, and what information and services would be helpful at this time. The conversations will document take aways and action items to advocate for streamlined and effective youth services in our region.
The webinars are free. Individuals can ask their questions anonymously; privacy will be respected. The two sessions are themed, based on experiences that youth might be encountering at this time.
