Financial literacy is the cornerstone of economic well-being, and its significance cannot be overstated. It is a powerful tool that empowers individuals and communities to make informed financial decisions, plan for the future, and achieve their dreams. The Antelope Valley Community Uplift Foundation (AVCUF) recognizes the importance of financial literacy, not just in general, but particularly to the Antelope Valley Community. As part of our commitment to enhancing the lives of our community members, we are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting a monthly Financial Literacy Workshop every second Thursday of the month from November 2023 to November 2024.
