Building Public Awareness of Available Resources

Improved financial literacy among all Americans requires an increased public awareness of the issues, as well as the many state, local, and national resources that are available for financial education. One theme that emerged from the Commission’s sector-specific meetings was the realization that the Federal government must make its financial literacy resources more easily available. This is important in order to better leverage existing financial education resources and avoid overlap or duplication.
