Money $mart Programs

Across Wisconsin, many community partnerships have been established to promote financial well-being for individuals and families. Head Start families are invited to participate in the Money $mart in Head Start (M$iHS) project at the start of the school year which offers a series of financial newsletters and workshops led by Extension financial educators. In addition, local community organizations, financial institutions, and Extension financial educators collaborate to provide educational events during the Money $mart                                                  Week financial literacy campaign.
