Build Black Wealth: Year End Celebration
2021-12-08 18:00 - 20:00 | Virtual
Build Black Wealth
Bringing tangible steps people of color can take to increase their NETWORTH and build generational wealth.
It’s no secret there is a huge disparity of wealth amongst races in the greater Boston area. Roxbury Community College has partnered with Our Village Initiative to bring some gold nuggets to Roxbury. We’ve decided to take the issue from conversation to action. Bringing tangible steps people of color can take to increase their NETWORTH. We’ve gathered industry experts to teach you what the 1% has done for centuries to solidify their wealth. Now these strategies are available to everyone.
Every second Wednesday of the month, we gather at RCC (now virtually) to learn different strategies on wealth creation. We encourage you to register as we will add webinar content between sessions to provide even more strategies. In this age of technology, we are not short of information, but how do we apply this information to our advantage? Well now… you’ll know how!
All sessions are FREE and open to the public. What’s your excuse for not attending?…

Credit Building for Teens Workshop
2021-10-12 16:00 - 17:00 | Virtual
Mayor’s Office of Financial Empowerment – Credit Building for Teens Workshop
Even if you’re not old enough to get a credit card or apply for a loan, it is important for teens to get a head start on developing a strong credit history. This webinar will help teens understand how credit works.

If you have a job, building credit is partly about managing your hard-earned money and learning to pay bills on time, such as a monthly cell phone bill.
Open a checking or savings account. Responsibly managing and maintaining these basic accounts will show a financial institution that you can handle money. If the account comes with a debit card, you will get experience using a card for withdrawing cash.
If your job permits, set up direct deposit to your account. It is easier to save if the money isn’t sitting in your pocket!
The first time you borrow money is likely to be college loans. Learn what interest is and how much you will end up replaying on top of a student loan.
The workshop lasts about 45 minutes, followed by time for questions.
