Virtual Showcase – Teaching Get SET Financial Literacy
Tuesday, June 2, 2026, 3 pm to 4:30 pm
For adult literacy learners, financial literacy is about learning everyday money skills for work, family life, and the community.
Join us for an engaging conversation with practitioners who have developed and delivered successful financial literacy programs for Get SET learners. Through real‑world examples and practical applications, you’ll explore what works, why it works, and how to adapt these approaches for your own context. Participants will leave with actionable tips and ready‑to‑use resources they can apply right away.
ASL interpretation will be provided.
