LIFT AGENDA
Credit Abuse Resistance Education (CARE)
Developed as part of a federal initiative by members of the Bankruptcy Section of the North Carolina Bar Association.
CARE was originally designed to be presented to rising college freshmen at North Carolina colleges and universities, but the need for personal financial literacy includes a greater cross section of the population. CARE teaches about personal finances to help minimize credit abuse among young adults and educate those who need to repair their credit rating. Presentations can be tailored for a teacher training session at the school or meeting facility or an attorney volunteer can visit your classroom. If you prefer, you can download the Power Point that contains slide notes in order for you to give the presentation yourself.
For more information about the national CARE program, please visit: http://www.careprogram.us/
