Financial Awareness Video Festivals

|
The New York Fed's video festivals are sponsored by the Regional and Community Outreach team. By combining peer-to-peer learning with video technology, the festivals seek to advance financial literacy among young adults. The New York Fed is running two concurrent festivals: one in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and one in Puerto Rico. In each region, local college and university students are challenged to create a 30-second video—aimed at young adults—about how to build good credit. |
