\nGlobal analytics software leader FICO, in partnership with the Hispanic 100 Foundation and with support from Congresswoman Young Kim\u2019s office, will host a free credit education event, Score A Better Future\u2122<\/b>, for community members, including college students and adults on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. PT at the Yorba Linda Public Library.<\/p>\n
\nThis event will provide attendees with tools and knowledge to better understand credit and how FICO\u00ae Scores work, and access to trusted financial resources. Attendees will receive free access to their FICO Score and have the opportunity to connect with a nonprofit credit counselor.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFinancial literacy is not just knowledge, it\u2019s power. Equipping Californians with the tools they need to build strong financial foundations will help them take control of their future,\u201d said Congresswoman Young Kim, Co-Chair of the Financial Literacy and Wealth Creation Caucus<\/b>. \u201cEspecially as financial education becomes a statewide graduation requirement, we must ensure families have access to resources that help them understand credit, avoid debt, and build long-term financial security. This event helps bridge the gap in access to resources, so Californians can score a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThis community event supports a growing statewide and national movement to improve financial education at all levels. While this particular workshop is focused on empowering community members, college students, and adults, it also aligns with California\u2019s new personal finance education requirement for high school students, beginning with the class of 2030. Representing 12 percent of all U.S. high schoolers, California\u2019s mandate highlights the growing urgency for financial literacy as a life skill.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cCollaborating with local organizations like the Hispanic 100 Foundation allows us to bring credit education directly to the communities that benefit most,\u201d said Jenelle Dito, vice president of Consumer Empowerment Programs and Partnerships at FICO. <\/b>\u201cThrough partnerships like this one with the Hispanic 100 Foundation and the support of local leaders like Congresswoman Kim, we are proud to help Californians unlock tools and resources to achieve their financial goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAs an organization committed to advancing Hispanic leadership and economic mobility, the Hispanic 100 Foundation is proud to partner with FICO to bring credit education directly to our community,\u201d said Mario Rodriguez, Chairman of the Hispanic 100 Foundation<\/b>. \u201cUnderstanding how to manage credit is a critical skill, and this workshop offers practical knowledge for students, families, and entrepreneurs alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
