This October, MSUFCU will launch The Culture of Finances, a financial literacy program for the underserved and underbanked communities. MSUFCU recognizes the need for accessible financial literacy resources that support the financial diversity in our communities. Listening to the voices of the community through focus groups laid the foundation for The Culture of Finances. This program aims to help participants increase confidence in financial preparedness and use new financial skills to achieve their dreams.

The Culture of Finances financial literacy program has an emphasis on better undersanding the relation between experiences, emotions, and how they may impact personal finances. The first session held will be the youth session on Monday, October 2, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.
