Virtual Showcase – Teaching Get SET Financial Literacy
Delivered on Tuesday, June 2, 2026
For adult literacy learners, financial literacy is about learning everyday money skills for work, family life, and the community.
During this session, guest presenters Jennifer, Janet and Audrey shared how they developed and delivered successful financial literacy programs in their community. Through real‑world examples and practical applications, participants explored what works, why it works, and how to adapt these approaches for their own context. Participants left with actionable tips and ready‑to‑use resources they could apply right away.
