about tri-cities Hwy 720

The 720 Financial Literacy campaign is an opportunity to link financial counseling to the community at-large. It is an opportunity for the community to pause and look at their financial situations through several lenses. Knowledge has always been the key to change and empowerment. Financial Literacy is the road to a healthy credit score which can change lives. Achieving a score of 700 or better can open doors to housing, jobs, and other opportunities for a better life for all.

The purpose of the “720 Financial Literacy Hwy initiative” is to:

Generate awareness of free financial literacy resources in the community.
Direct community members to a listing /directory of available free resources for individuals and small businesses owners to access as needed.
Provide free virtual and in-person activities such as workshops, seminars, appointments etc. … that will help them understand the importance of Financial Literacy and a strong credit score.

Most think “more money” is the answer, however, knowing what to do with your money is critical to everyday decisions and long-term financial stability.
