Allianz Celebrates Financial Literacy Month by Offering Free Financial Seminars to Hispanic Heritage Youth Award Winners

“Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America announced today a new financial literacy program for the recipients of the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards and their families. As an official sponsor of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Allianz will offer free bilingual financial seminars to the winners, their families and friends. The seminars will cover the basic principles of saving and investing and provide tools to make knowledgeable financial decisions.

According to the National Council of La Raza report, Financial Counseling: A Meaningful Strategy for Building Wealth in the Latino Community (December, 2005), raising financial awareness among Hispanic families is especially important given their often limited experience with financial tools, language barriers to accessing financial services, and the growing number of complex financial choices they must make. “
