¿El dinero te confunde? ¿Los términos financieros suenan como otro idioma? No te preocupes, aquí lo vamos a aprender todo.

En esta serie de cuatro sesiones, estudiantes y padres aprenderán juntos (y por separado) cómo manejar el dinero con inteligencia. Desde lo más básico hasta planear el futuro, este taller es una guía práctica para tomar el control de tu vida financiera desde joven.
La primera y última sesión es para padres y jóvenes, mientras que la segunda y tercera sesión solo es para los jóvenes.

Does money feel confusing? Do financial terms sound like another language? Don’t worry — we’ve got you.
In this four-part series, students and parents will learn together (and separately) how to manage money wisely. From the basics to long-term planning, this workshop is a practical guide to taking control of your financial life from a young age.
