(Washington, D.C.) – Through the month of April – Financial Literacy Month – The LIBRE Institute held events in several states designed to promote financial literacy in the Hispanic community. These events educate Hispanics – and others – about personal budgeting skills that can help individuals and families build a more prosperous future. Our goal is to help Latinos understand the options they have and to help them take the steps that are right for themselves and their families.
