Financial Wellness Team

15 incarcerated students at SCI Chester enrolled in our second section of the Financial Wellness course which we offered in conjunction with Everence Financial. Natalie Martinez, Kevin M. Gill, and Bryant Keal were a great instructional team! Students have been learning about the four things we can do with money--Spend, Save, Give, Invest. Over five weeks this class covered everything from cash flow to stocks to debt elimination to values-based decision making about money. On April 30, 2021, the students received Certificates of Completion.
