As a new school year begins, it’s the perfect time to prepare for success—not just in the classroom, but in life. At Tzion’s Haven House and Christian Center for Youth, we believe financial literacy is one of the most valuable life skills a young person can develop.
That’s why we’re excited to host our Back-to-School Budgeting Strategy Course for youth and young adults ages 12–24!
📅 Date: Saturday, August 15, 2026
🕛 Time: 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
📍 Location: Tzion’s Haven House and Christian Center for Youth
6024 West Main, Belleville, IL 62223
Why Financial Literacy Matters
Every day, young people are making financial decisions—even if they don’t realize it. Whether it’s spending allowance, earning a first paycheck, using digital payment apps, or preparing for college, understanding how to manage money can set the foundation for a lifetime of financial success.
Unfortunately, many young adults enter adulthood without learning how to:
Create and stick to a budget
Save money consistently
Understand the difference between needs and wants
Build healthy credit
Avoid unnecessary debt
Set financial goals
Make wise spending decisions
Our goal is to change that.
What Participants Will Learn
This interactive workshop is designed to provide practical, real-world financial skills that participants can begin using immediately.
Topics include:
Creating a back-to-school budget
Smart spending and saving strategies
Banking basics
Understanding credit and avoiding debt
Financial goal setting
Money management for everyday life
Fun, hands-on activities and prizes
Participants will leave with practical tools, increased confidence, and a personalized plan to help them make informed financial decisions.
Investing in the Next Generation
At Tzion’s Haven House and Christian Center for Youth, we believe financial education is about more than dollars and cents. It’s about empowering young people to become responsible decision-makers, confident leaders, and future homeowners, entrepreneurs, college graduates, and community leaders.
When youth learn to manage money wisely, they gain skills that can positively impact their families, their futures, and generations to come.
