"To promote and support financial literacy through community partnership opportunities that provide individuals with the essential tools needed for a healthy and smart financial future."
The PAL program was created to support and promote the financial literacy efforts of local community groups across Massachusetts.
Throughout the year, ACCC makes monetary contributions to various community organizations to assist current, or start-up, financial based educational programs. Financial awareness serves as a critical component in supporting proper budget maintenance and responsible credit management skills and ACCC is committed to this educational discipline.
