Reloaded Audio from January 14, 2020.
January 8th MBN hit the road to follow the efforts of LAFCU with high school students.
LAFCU returned to Lansing Christian School for the second time to present a Financial Reality Fair that helps students understand personal finance.
Around a dozen LAFCU employees were providing one-on-one guidance to students tasked to create a real-life financial budget. Using estimated salaries based on selected careers as well as assigned credit scores, students visit 12 booths staffed by LAFCU financial experts to identify expenses likely to be incurred when living independently. At station #13, a LAFCU financial counselor helps students explore ways to improve their financial decision-making.
This experience matched up Lansing Christian School senior class.
More than 20 volunteers help coordinate the event, and — Representatives from LAFCU’s Lansing-area branches.
Listen to interviews with Kelli Elsworth-Etchison from LAFCU, along with other audio captured during that visit.
