Financial Literacy
Participate in the NUL’s financial education program and learn how to:
- Save and invest wisely
- Understand personal credit
- Build wealth
- Avoid excessive debt
- And more
In most urban areas, people face high levels of consumer debt, low savings rates, and growing bankruptcy rates. This is particularly due to the lack of financial education offered in low-income communities.

In order to improve your financial IQ, you must educate yourself. NUL has partnered with financial institutions such as Citigroup, Chrysler Financial, and Freddie Mac to empower people to learn how to improve their financial status by offering information on the following:
- Introduction to financial services
- Basic banking
- Money management and investing
- Establishing, maintaining and repairing credit
- Goal setting, budgeting and financial planning
- Understanding and avoiding predatory and subprime lending
- Becoming a homeowner and preserving homeownership
If you’re feeling empowered and ready to improve your understanding of finances, TAKE THE PLEDGE NOW and find a financial literacy program in your area!
