May 19 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., the Eugene Family YMCA will host a free “Financial Beginnings” class for adults, high schoolers and middle schoolers.
The program, run with Oregon Community Credit Union, will teach credit card use, credit reports, checkbook balancing, budgeting and personal information security.
YMCA staff said the class is aimed at building financial responsibility early and helping young people avoid identity fraud while protecting their savings.
YMCA members and all youth can attend free, adult guest passes are available for purchase, and advance registration is required through the Eugene Family YMCA website.
