| Financial Well Being: A Toolkit |
|
Financial Well-Being is defined as the ability to meet all financial needs, today and over time; feel secure in the financial future; absorb a financial shock; and have the financial freedom to make choices to enjoy life. The overall goal for students is to be well versed in financial literacy, so a more appropriate way of calling it is using the term “Financial Well-Being” rather than “Financial Literacy.” Submit questions to Nicole Norfles at (nicole.norfles@coenet.org). Objective — Assist TRIO staff participation in financial literacy self-assessment with students. • Provide pre- and post- financial self-assessments. • Provide trainees with a toolkit to identify components of a financial wellness center. • Develop student Money Mentors as participant peers. • Provide list of resources to identify speakers to address topics such as salary considerations by academic career, salary negotiations, entrepreneurs and internships, food bank benefits, and/or alternative housing and rent considerations. • Provide a list of money habit games, envelop systems, and other tools to diversify financial literacy learning. |
