Eliza Moore talks first with Amy Illescas, a student at Freedom High School who's also studying cosmetology at the Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School. Amy explains why these classes make her feel more invested in her education and the skills she's gained that can help in any role.
Then, Eliza is joined by Rosemary Reiji, a student who's leading a fundraising campaign for Blood Cancer United. Rosemary talks about the decision to lead a campaign like this instead of taking a basic volunteer role, her methods of fundraising, and how it's helped her look at money differently.
Teen Money Matters welcomes local teens and financial experts to talk about and explore ways to save, budget and understand the importance of managing money for the future. New episodes air alternating first Thursdays of the month from 6:30 to 7:00 PM following All Things Considered.
