101 CUENTA$: Consumers Uniting in an Educational Network to Achieve Stability
Short Description
The purpose of this project is to expand on a platform that is currently offered by the Consumer Resource Center (CRC) at California State University, Northridge (CSUN). Here the user will have access to a variety of options that will help them learn how to manage debt and also learn how to save money. Our goal is to design a website that CSUN students and the community can easily navigate and learn useful information about financial matters that affect them in the long term. In order to expand on the CRC, we will be adding a link titled CUENTA$ (Consumers Uniting in an Educational Network to Achieve Stability) to the existing website. The title CUENTA$ was created for its Spanish meaning of accounts. Using the Spanish term was a way to reflect a significant part of the CSUN population. We aim to provide an engaging platform that provides relevant information for students and the CSUN community to prioritize and set realistic financial goals. As more students go out to the workforce, growing their financial literacy should be a priority because it creates a more financially responsible and independent population.
