This is a 2-part income management workshop to the working teens in our community. This workshop goes beyond saving allowance. Teens will learn how to make smart spending decisions, create a basic budget relevant to their lives, set financial goals about things they actually care about, and develop healthy money management habits for the future. The content is interactive, practical, and built around situations teens recognize. No jargon, no lectures, just life-skills they can use today.


Meet the instructor: Lori Morenz!

Lori Morenz holds a Finance degree from Emporia State University and has a heart for helping others build confidence with their money. Since 2014, she has been a disciplined budgeter who believes that a clear plan creates freedom and peace.
