Money Management Course
Many young people are growing up without any direction on how to navigate their way through the important decisions about how to handle their money. CAP Money Youth is designed to change all of that. It is a very simple but very affective money management course which has now been adapted for secondary school pupils.
For a church member to deliver CAP Money Youth course would be a fantastic way to serve a local school and to reach out to the young people in the community
CAP Money Youth is based around a character called Sam who is about to head off to college and has to learn to budget for the first time. As a group we work through Sam’s budget to see if we can help it to balance. The course also looks to answer questions such as:
What does APR mean?
How much interest is on a store card?
What is bankruptcy and what happens when things go wrong?
The content has been received very positively by schools as it promotes and equips pupils with vital life skills identified in Curriculum for Excellence. A CAP Money course takes around 3 hours and can be delivered in one or two sessions.
