EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PERSONAL FINANCE
Based on HBE’s desire to give back to the communities we serve, we have made a commitment to helping local students improve their understanding of personal finances and develop long-term money management skills. We currently provide an educational presentation for high school students as well as interactive activities for students in kindergarten through 8th grade.

This game is designed to show high school students the importance of saving money and spending smartly.
- Value of a College Education Handout. As you get ready to graduate high school, there are a lot of questions that will cross your mind. One of the biggest questions you may have is whether to attend college or not. One of the biggest reasons why you may question attending college is the cost; it can be expensive to go to college. Is the cost of attending college and earning a degree worth it?
