Lights, Camera, Save!

Teaching Teens Financial Responsibility

Lights, Camera, Save! is a chance for teens to educate themselves, and their peers, about building sound financial habits — all while creating eye-catching videos. They can cover topics like identity theft prevention, paying for college, learning about your credit score and more. The only limit is their own imagination!
