This session helps students set SMART goals, track spending, and build healthy financial habits for college and beyond—all in a supportive, judgment-free environment designed to empower confident money decisions.
  • Money Habitudes: Understanding Your Relationship with Money helps students explore the attitudes and behaviors that shape their financial decisions.
