This initiative is aimed at empowering younger generations with financial lessons and essential skills to navigate their financial futures.\nWith the increasing complexities of the modern financial landscape, Truist recognizes the critical importance of equipping young adults with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed financial decisions. But with only 25 states requiring high school students to take a personal finance course, many young people are entering adulthood without real-world financial skills. Truist Life, Money, and Choices will provide students with comprehensive resources and interactive learning opportunities designed to enhance their understanding of key financial concepts—all free through community organization partners.\n\"As we close out National Financial Literacy month, we are thrilled to launch this initiative, which directly aligns with our purpose to inspire and build better lives and communities,\" said Truist Chief CRA/Community Development Officer Anthony Weekly. \"By investing in financial education for students, we are laying the foundation for a more financially responsible society while providing our own Truist teammates with powerful ways to give back to their communities.\"\nTruist Life, Money, and Choices, which kicked off with a session at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School earlier this month, is a scalable, in-person, free training module that gives participants the opportunity to explore different financial strategies and understand the consequences of their choices. Hosted by schools and other community organizations, and facilitated by Truist teammates, the simulation features up to 12 learning stations, each representing a different set of expenses and choices.\nEach participant is assigned a personal financial profile outlining his or her occupation, income and family composition, along with a transaction ledger to record financial transactions. With their profiles and ledgers in hand, participants make their way through each station, receiving guidance and support from Truist teammates, and making their own decisions. The stations cover common expense categories, including:\n\nActs of Care – giving back to community and loved ones\nBanking – maintaining and adding to savings\nChildcare – daycare, babysitting and more\nEducation – student loan repayment\nFood and Grocery – food costs and eating out\nHealth and Wellness – healthcare costs, inclusive of any employer-provided insurance options\nJust for Fun – pets, fitness, hobbies and more\nLooking Good – hair, clothing, footwear\nMaking Ends Meet – earning additional income or lowering expenses\nTransportation – various options for transportation including cars and public transit\nUtilities – electric/gas, water/sewer, trash\n\nAt some point as they progress through the simulation, each participant will receive a \"Life Happens\" scenario that represents an unexpected financial situation. Working alongside Truist facilitators, participants will determine if the scenario represents a credit—such as getting a promotion and raise, or a debit—like needing to replace a broken cell phone screen, and record it appropriately in their ledger. Both the stations and the \"Life Happens\" scenarios help students develop practical skills and understanding that are vital for long-term financial success.\nAt the end of the training, participants will gather to debrief on key learnings and provide feedback on the simulation. This will be accompanied by an overview of key budgeting principles they can apply to their own financial decision making. Truist facilitators will also help connect students to additional resources and tools, such as Truist Money & Mindset content, so participants can continue their journey toward financial confidence.\nTruist invites high schools, colleges and other community organizations to participate in this transformative program and take advantage of the valuable learnings it offers.
