Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise is partnering with Hamilton County Schools to launch Mini Money School, a free series providing financial education and money management skills to teens and adults.
The series is a revamp of the Money School financial education events previously held by Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise, an organization that provides financial education and promotes access to homeownership and affordable housing, with a new format of shorter financial sessions held throughout the year rather than daylong events held every spring, according to a news release.
Mini Money School’s condensed evening sessions are focused on one or two financial topics at a time and are intended to be easier for participants to access, the release said.
“We wanted to bring the courses to people where they are more – in their neighborhoods, in their communities,” Chelsea Smith, Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise communications and special projects director, said by phone, as to why the organization partnered with Hamilton County Schools on the new series. “We decided that they would be a good partner because they have access to schools and spaces all over Chattanooga.”
