We are launching the Washington State Investor Education In Your Community ® project this week.The Investor Education In Your Community ® project is an outreach project aimed at providing financial education through multiple workshops and presentations in communities throughout Washington State.
Thanks to a grant from the Investor Protection Trust, DFI is partnering with Consumer University to bring investor education information directly to communities.
Investor Education In Your Community ® workshops will include information about:
- The basics of investing and why it’s important to start early and assess your investment strategies regularly;
- How to avoid investment fraud;
- How to research an investment and/or investment broker/seller;
- The importance of creating and discussing a family budget openly with all family members;
Why you should check your credit report regularly; - Understanding the many facets of everyday life are impacted by your credit score and how to improve your score; and
- How thieves are out to steal your identity and how to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft – and what steps to take if you become a victim.
