@johnlanzajr Yes! Early and often money conversations go a long way in building stronger financial futures.

A5: Money is emotional and resources are limited. In classrooms, our educators and students are actively innovating out of necessity. We embrace collaboration to make change happen. We never want money to be the reason we’re not talking and teaching about money. #CreditChat

[Pockets Change is Changing How #FinEd is Taught @PocketsChange]

A4: We envision a world where financial education is as prevalent as reading programs and our shared money stories shift narratives that have held back our communities for generations. #StudentVoices Why Talk About Money Word Cloud #CreditChat

[Pockets Change is Changing How #FinEd is Taught @PocketsChange]

A3: By starting money conversations, where we break down barriers and let each other know that money is a tool and a process—you’re not wrong, you’re not bad at money, and you’re not alone. Our programs are community cyphers where everyone is a learner and a leader. #CreditChat

[Pockets Change is Changing How #FinEd is Taught @PocketsChange]

@Experian A2: Making change starts with talking about money together and increasing access to financial education. In classrooms and communities across the country, we’re unpacking money myths and financial questions through project-based learning. #CreditChat

[Pockets Change is Changing How #FinEd is Taught @PocketsChange]

@Experian A1: It creates change, Financial education is an intergenerational tool for self-care and social justice. Talking and teaching about money is a revolutionary act with the power to transform lives and communities. #CreditChat

@PocketsChange weighs in on how college students can take charge of their money. "Buy-in to money conversations and ask questions about the details. Too many of us leave school uncertain about loan terms..." https://t.co/dCtU8jy7cz #TheMoreYouKnow #FinancialLiteracy
