Now more than ever families need to understand basic financial information. Being able to make informed judgments about the use and management of money can make a difference not only for your household, but for generations. Basic knowledge of finances can save you money, keep you from being scammed, help you stay out of debt, and help you weather hard times.

King and Queen Community Development, Inc., has partnered with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to provide basic money management training in King and Queen County. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that regulates banks and protects funds depositors place in banks and savings associations. The FDIC initiated a national financial education campaign by launching Money Smart, a comprehensive personal financial education curriculum designed to help individuals develop financial skills and positive banking relationships. The FDIC supports the Money Smart program by providing free Train the Trainer sessions.

In preparation for the Money Smart training that will be available to the public in April, KQCD and the FDIC are looking for people who are interested in teaching basic money management. The FDIC will train those interested to deliver its Money Smart curriculum. The session will provide information on how to teach the Money Smart curriculum and does not teach the curriculum content itself. Those trained will assist KQCD in the delivery of the curriculum throughout the month of April, which is Financial Literacy Month. After the initial April series of workshops, instructors can coordinate additional workshops in the community if desired. If you are interested in being trained to teach basic financial literacy, please email info@kqcd.org for a registration package or call 804-769-9656 and leave your contact information. The Train the Trainer session will be held on Saturday, March 6th, from 9:00AM – 4:00PM, lunch will be provided. The registration deadline for Money S mart Train the Trainer session is March 1st. This training is free.

Financial Literacy is a necessary skill. According to a 2009 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey, 41 percent of U.S. adults, or more than 92 million people living in America, gave themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance. Please join us in making a tangible difference though basic money management training. King and Queen Community Development, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization.
