Earn and Learn Weekend

 Saturday & Sunday, August 18 & 19

Financial literacy is more than being able to add dollars and cents — it’s learning how to be smart about earning, spending, and saving. Join volunteers from the Society of Louisiana CPAs for a fun-filled, weekend of financial literacy exploration. Kids will get to ‘earn’ money in each exhibit, then ‘spend’ it in others! Learn about wages, shopping, and saving on a finance friendly scavenger hunt!
