For more information contact Nick Martin
Training and Brochure Part of Mayor Menino’s Summer Jobs Initiative
Teen participants in Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s summer jobs initiative will receive a final lesson after a summer filled with new experiences and opportunities to build skills while employed with businesses across the city. Every teen concluding their summer job through the Youth Fund will receive “Money Talk$,” a brochure produced by the Office of Consumer Affairs & Licensing, intended to serve as a consumer guide for Boston teens. The brochure will be included with the teens’ last pay check from the Youth Fund this Friday.
“I am grateful to our community partners and agencies across the city for providing our youth with such positive and enriching experiences this summer,” Mayor Menino said. “The financial literacy lessons that they receive could not come at a better time. Youth need to appreciate the importance of being financially responsible, and that’s exactly the goal of the training and this brochure.”
Various agencies and businesses city-wide provided financial literacy training to their teen employees throughout the summer as part of their employment experiences. Training seminars focused on a number of critical aspects of financial education ranging from managing a credit card and bank accounts to avoiding identity theft. |
