Financial Literacy

Through an engaged Financial Literacy Task (FLTF), the FLTF utilizes the NBCSI model that engages Black State legislators as conveners in designated locations to join with civic and business leaders, neighborhood and faith-based organizations, and other stakeholders interested in this vital area. Under the leadership of the task force members, each local group actively engages in examining the relevant issues, identifying cultural sensitive approaches and expanding policy and legislation options. Together, they work to provide access to the tools that will allow their constituencies to make better choices for their future financial well-being, with a focus on savings, credit, budgeting and asset building.

The work of the FLTF is not limited to one age group, instead, it focuses on identifying the financial literacy gaps of the entire community, including seniors, working families, young adults, college students, and young people in K-12 grade. The Task Force works with financial institutions, the financial services industry and other state and local policymakers to identify solutions to existing barriers to self sufficiency and wealth building on the African American community.
