The Simi Valley Youth Employment Service (YES) in partnership with the Bank of America’s better money habits education team will host a four-part Let's Talk Money Financial Literacy Workshop series to teach local youth about financial literacy education.

Teens and young adults that attend the free workshop series will learn about effective money management from healthy budgeting and how to build credit to savings and investing.

"I think these workshops are very worthwhile for teenagers like me to attend since they teach real world skills not covered in school in a fun, interactive way,” said Shreeya Julakanti, chair of the YES financial literacy committee and author of A Teen’s Guide to Investing: How to Make the Magic of Compounding Work for You!  “Millions of Americans struggle with managing their finances after they graduate high school, and coming to an event like Let's Talk Money could have helped many of them prevent that."

The dates and times for the Let’s Talk Money Financial Literacy Workshop Series are on Saturday, April 22, at 11:30 a.m., during the YES Job and Career Fair; and at 6:00 p.m. on April 27, May 18 and May 25.
