EUGENE, Ore. – The Eugene Family YMCA is offering free financial literacy classes for adults, high schoolers and middle schoolers.<\/p>\n

The program is called “Financial Beginnings.” In partnership with Oregon Community Credit Union, the classes will teach participants how to manage credit cards, understand credit reports and balance checkbooks.<\/p>\n

“Now, let’s teach them how to be financially responsible at a young age, and how to understand stuff like, what does a credit report look like? How do you balance your checkbook? Things like that…real basic stuff,” Casper said.<\/p>\n

The course will also cover financial budgeting and personal information security measures. Casper said the YMCA wants to help youth avoid identity fraud and protect their savings.<\/p>\n

The class is scheduled for May 19 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. It’s free for YMCA members and all youth. Adult guest passes can be purchased.<\/p>\n

Registration in advance is required.
