Here are a few of the ways you can use the BALANCED Life program:
Support Your Community
Partner with a school, or give BALANCED Life to a teacher or community group. You are providing a valuable, virtual learning experience that teens not only need but many states mandate. All while increasing awareness of your financial institution, positioning yourself as financial experts, and creating loyalty among younger consumers.
Support Your Staff And Their Family
Host a special BALANCED Life webinar for the children of your staff members. Not only will it help parents occupy their children’s time with educational materials during the day (especially those working from home), but it is also a great way for internal staff to become acquainted with the program.
