Assemblyman Walter Mosley hosted over 1000 teens at his 5th Annual Career Fair at the Shirley A. Chisolm State Office Building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn on Friday. That’s a lot of downloads!!! We officially launched The College Financial Playbook, a Free E-book there, which was beyond awesome.

YES!

They are Living Financially CLEAN and have the arm bands to prove it!

Every child that downloaded our free e-book on Friday received a Financially CLEAN arm band to remind them to pay their bills on time. 

Assemblyman Walter Mosley took the time to visit with us and see how the magic happens and how we are trying to share financial literacy one e-book and child at a time.  And we had to take one State Office Selfie!!

Financially CLEAN Launches Free E-Book, The College Financial Playbook

Financially CLEAN will officially debut The College Financial Playbook, the first of its series of free E-books, at Walter Mosley's 5th Annual Youth Career Fair on Friday January 26th at the Shirley A. Chisolm State Office Building in Brooklyn, NY.

With student loan debt being the largest form of consumer debt outside of mortgages in this country, Financially CLEAN is launching this free E-book to help change that.

“

We are always looking for creative ways to reach youth beyond the classroom, beyond our borders. Our goal is to advance the opportunity for every child to be financially literate before the age of 18.

The College Financial Playbook is a quick, easy resource guide to help high school and college students win 'THE GAME' --to not only graduate but graduate with minimal debt. Because if you don't know the rules how can you play the game? --Shaun Lynda, Founder

Financially CLEAN will be on hand again this year at the Walter T. Mosley Youth Job Fair to take personal finance questions from eager students looking to gain work experience and understand how to manage, grow and protect their hard-earned dollars. For those who cannot attend, you can download it here for FREE.

January 26th

Hundreds of high school and college students attend Assemblymember Walter Mosley's Youth Job Fair every year, giving young people an opportunity to gain valuable summer experience, acquire skills and build their network. It is open to the public so it is certainly worth spreading the word.

Financially CLEAN Attends Financial Literacy & Education Commission Meeting at the Treasury

It is a good day for financial literacy with Treasurer Jovita Carranza spearheading the re-energizing and re-strategizing of financial education in this country through the initiatives of the Financial Literacy Education Committee (FLEC). The FLEC is a group of government agencies, non-profits and private companies that are working together to synergize their financial literacy efforts.

Dionne Nicholls, Program Director for Financially CLEAN and Treasurer Jovita Carranza at the FLEC Meeting December 16th, 2017

James Brown, Director of Microeconomic Analysis, Office of Economic Policy, US Department of the Treasury presented some very sobering statistics.

"The vulnerable older population is women."  --James Brown

"The vulnerable older population is women."  --James Brown

Young adults are also a key focus, especially where student loan debt is concerned.

"$4.6 million in student load debt is in default."  --James Brown

Financially CLEAN is looking forward to seeing the wheels of change turn so more people, especially young people, start making more informed decisions in the reduction of debt, building of wealth and a secure retirement.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 16TH, 2017

7PM-1AM

DWANA SMALLWOOD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER,  BROOKLYN, NY

Check out last year's festivities! 

The Brooklyn Family is a group of close friends and relatives that came together during the Christmas season in the late 1990’s to host holiday parties.  Over the years, the collection of individuals hosted multiple gatherings in their Brooklyn community, strategically selecting venues operated by small business owners with the intention to have a good time while supporting local entrepreneurs.  In addition, The Brooklyn Family would also identify impactful non-profits that serve the Brooklyn community, and these selected organizations would be highlighted at the holiday event and all the proceeds of the event would be donated to the organizations.  All attendees had an opportunity to celebrate in holiday spirit while meeting mutual community stakeholders.  Each organization was given a moment during the party to describe their organization and pitch any needs of their organization to attendees. After each organization had an opportunity to inform the community of their great works and needs, the party would resume!

In 2016, after about a seven-year intermission, some of the individuals of the original Brooklyn Family host crew, decided to reignite the old annual party with a purpose.  In 10 days, The Brooklyn Family rebooted with vigor, with a fundraiser surpassing all previous years. Now, The Brooklyn Family has decided to keep the momentum and the mission with a quarterly event to highlight and promote the good work serving Brooklyn so that we can better serve the needs of our beloved Brooklyn. 

Open bar 7pm to 8:30, free food, music by DJ Fanatic and great people. Proceeds will benefit UWantGame, Financially Clean and Chionesu Bakari Program for Young Men.

We look forward to seeing you there!
