Learning to save, spend wisely and even donate to great causes when youโre young can lead to excellent financial habits as adults. The Utica Childrenโs Museum is once again teaming up with First Source Federal Credit Union to offer โFinancial Fridayโ where kids can learn about money and put their knowledge into action!
Date: Friday, November 29, 2019
Time: Two times available: 11:00-11:45am or 1:00-1:45pm
Place: Utica Childrenโs Museum, 311 Main Street, Utica, NY
Museum visitors can enjoy a fun, interactive financial literacy program that teaches kids where money comes from and the value of it. During the session they will earn money and be given a โpaycheckโ to go down to the First Source Kidโs Branch on the first floor of the Museum to cash and then spend smartly on small items right at the Museum! The session is great for ages 6 and up.
