Financial education is a pretty big deal at the credit union. Every year we set increasingly lofty goals for the number of people we hope to reach by way of our free workshops, and every year we wonder if members and the public will come, yet the number of attendees continues to exceed our highest hopes. Something must be clicking. Last year, 5,738 people attended at least one of our free financial education workshops. If this is the first time you’ve heard about the program, then you should know:
These days, rarely a week goes by without South Carolina Federal representatives being out and about in your community to present a free workshop. We’re at schools, churches, places of work, public libraries, civic group meetings, Chambers of Commerce and more. To find out our next destination and select a topic you might want to learn more about, visit our schedule of free financial workshops at scfedseminars.org. If you’re part of an organization, classroom or company that could use a free financial education workshop, simply let us know. We’re waiting for your email at financialeducation@scfederal.org. We also have a financial education hotline to take your requests at 843-569-5631 (Charleston) or 800-845-0432, ext. 5631 (Nationwide). Or maybe you've got an idea for a topic we haven’t tackled yet? We’ll design a workshop around your needs. The email address and phone number above accept great ideas, too! Let’s start the discussion now. What free workshop(s) do you think we should offer?
