The Financial Security for All Community of Practice, a virtual community led by fifteen Extension professionals from across the country, has over 300 members from Land Grant Universities in 44 states and one territory. Members are organized in three major subject matter areas - Financial Security in Later Life, Financial Literacy for Youth, and Financial Stability. They develop resources; provide peer-reviewed Frequently Asked Questions and Featured Resources; and answer Ask the Expert questions.
Financial security, the ability to meet day-to-day expenses while saving and investing for tomorrow, is a lifelong goal for most individuals and families. The national Financial Security for All team began collaborative work to provide consumers a source of reliable and up-to-date financial and consumer information through a knowledge base of commonly asked questions that have science-based, peer reviewed answers.
Online learning lessons have been developed to create self-paced learning objects that youth and adults can use to further enhance their knowledge in particular areas. The newest lessons being developed are modules for “Bankruptcy Education” and “Getting Motivated for Estate Planning.”
We hope you enjoy learning about how to successfully manage your money and resources. We look forward to getting your feedback.
