CARE is an initiative that makes experienced members of the bankruptcy community available to teach the importance of financial education. The relaunched CARE website focuses on four main constituencies: students, educators, parents and bankruptcy professional volunteers. The “Student” section includes information on student loans, paying for college, and general financial tips on a broad range of topics. Parents will find a section of the site that includes information on teaching kids about the financial facts of life. Educators will have access to a video and lesson plan for teachers. The “Professionals” section of the site allows bankruptcy professionals to find an existing CARE program in their community through a user-friendly locator map, and information on starting a program in their area.
