Smart Cents Activated 💸 💙

We recently hosted a Professional Development Day for personal finance educators focused on learning and building stronger financial education experiences for students.

But the work didn’t stop there…

We also began shaping plans for our next Professional Development Day and wrapped up the day by building the agenda and outline for our team’s upcoming annual strategic planning retreat.

We’re especially grateful to Kaylah Beatty for volunteering and spending the day with us and sharing her time, expertise and energy.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, contributed and helped make the day meaningful.

We recently had the opportunity to host a Professional Development Day for the personal finance teachers at Cristo Rey KC High School.

This makes Cristo Rey the 4th school to implement Pathway Financial Education’s curriculum 🙌

This day was all about equipping educators with the knowledge, tools and confidence they need to bring practical financial education into the classroom and help students build skills they can carry with them long after graduation.

Because learning how to budget, save, manage credit, understand debt and make informed financial decisions shouldn’t start when you’re already an adult.

It starts EARLY!

We’re proud to partner with schools that believe financial education is an essential part of preparing students for real life.

Her credit score climbed more than 100 points 🤩

Our Executive Director, LaTasha Jacobs, sat down with her daughter to talk about something a lot of young adults don’t learn about until it’s too late…

CREDIT.

For her 18th birthday, LaTasha helped her daughter establish credit by adding her as an authorized user.

But getting the credit was only the beginning.

The real lesson was knowing how to use it responsibly.

Her daughter shares how she treated her credit card more like a debit card, kept track of her paydays and made sure she was paying it off strategically.

This is why financial education matters and why starting these conversations early can make such a difference.

This is Part 1 of our mother-daughter credit conversation. Stay tuned for Part 2.

Your debt does NOT have to define your future.

At Pathway Financial Education, we provide no-cost financial coaching and workshops to help you understand your debt, create a realistic repayment plan and build healthier financial habits with confidence.

You don't need all the answers before you ask for help. Sometimes, one conversation is all it takes to start moving in the right direction.
