Financial Education Programs

The following are some of the financial education programs offered by Community Credit Counseling Specialists (CCCS). These programs are funded by grants awarded to CCCS and provided at no charge to the recipients. 

Family Financial Literacy Education (Quest for Financial Literacy)

CCCS is now offering a free financial literacy family educational program for you and your entire family thanks to being awarded an outstanding educational grant by Chase Bank. Give your children the gift of financial knowledge.

Our goal is to work with you and your children ages 4 and up so that the entire family can benefit from learning about and talking about financial issues and how to become strong in financial literacy skills. The benefits will be great financial skills, learning how to save and how much you can afford to save in the beginning, resolving debt issues and staying out of debt in the future. You will also learn how to improve your credit score, family goal setting, expense tracking, and the importance of talking about finances as a family in order to build financially secure children and how to reach goals as a family unit.

You will receive free financial literacy education with all the materials provided, free annual credit reports with FICO credit score and continual follow up for three years with a certified counselor to assist you with getting on track and staying on track with your finances.
