Testimonial

"Excellent presentations. Graphics easy to understand and follow. Appreciate the explanation of concepts like zero-based budgeting and and a few other terms I was vaguely familiar with. Sometimes presenters talk to parents as if they know nothing. I think the balance was perfect. Great explanations for those with little budgeting knowledge, but not too simplified for those with some knowledge. Excellent, excellent. Thank you!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How are Family Financial Literacy Events (FFLEs) structured in-person?

FFLE’s are broken down into separate sessions during which students and their families participate in activities/games – which are facilitated by trained CCEE volunteers – to learn about basic personal finance topics such as budgeting and goal setting, saving and investing, human capital, and credit basics. Typically, families will have time to participate in at least two activity sessions during the event. This is a hands-on learning event, not a speaking event or presentation.

While at the FFLE, will I be able to receive personal financial advice?

Unfortunately, CCEE does not provide individualized financial advice. FFLEs are intended to introduce students and their families to basic personal finance concepts. If you are seeking specific financial advice about your own personal situation, we recommend seeking a financial advisor.

Are the FFLE sessions also in Spanish?

Yes, all FFLE activities are available in Spanish.

How are participating school sites chosen?

In 2019, CCEE partnered with the Los Angeles Unified School District to bring more LAUSD students and their families personal finance education through Family Financial Literacy Events as part of the Superintendent’s Financial Literacy Initiative. LAUSD identifies all school sites in advance.

Can I request an FFLE at my school?

Yes, please contact us here or by emailing our Program Manager, Carmen Solorzano at [email protected]
