Preparing your Teen for the World of Credit

Credit Abuse Resistance Education ("CARE") is an organization that presents free information about the use and abuse of credit cards. Parent Council has invited them to be the presenter at our January Parent Education Series on Wednesday, January 9, 2008. The presentation will be in the SEHS cafeteria from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. Following the holidays, Parent Council thought it would be a good idea to talk about how to use credit wisely. The CARE program is designed to teach teens (and reaffirm good habits for parents) about how to build and maintain good credit as young consumers. Our speakers will be Judge Charles Carlson with the Lane County Circuit Court and P. Rebecca Kamitsuka, U.S. Department of Justice Attorney for the United States Bankruptcy Trustee.
