Girl Scouts: Hands On Banking - Event Support Volunteer

Save to Favorites

April is financial literacy month, and this year Girl Scouts is partnering with Wells Fargo to offer girls the opportunity to participate in the Hands on Banking Program. Younger girls will have the chance to learn about needs versus wants, budgets, and saving. As for older girls, they will have the opportunity to gain more knowledge about investing, checking and building good credit. During this event girls will move around the room at their own pace, visiting a variety of workshops.
