Participants learned about the importance of credit scores, how to establish credit, and the various factors that impact creditworthiness.

One key takeaway from the session was the discussion on how parents can help build their children's credit by adding them as secondary authorized users on their credit cards, allowing them to start building credit before they even reach adulthood.

"Some people are scared of getting a credit card because they don't want to go into debt," said Darious Harris, CEO of NSG Impact. "But
managing your money effectively is what determines your debt. Credit is a tool, not a burden, when you understand how to use it." The second session, which will take place on June 21, 2025, is titled "Improving Credit and Managing Debt." This session will build on the knowledge from the first workshop, delving deeper into strategies for managing debt and further improving one’s credit. “This workshop will help attendees understand how to take actionable steps to improve their credit scores and tackle outstanding debt,” said Harris. “We’ll also be discussing how people can avoid common mistakes that lead to debt, and the importance of maintaining a balanced financial portfolio.” Jonathan Escobar, the Community Manager for Chase Bank in Rialto, has been instrumental in organizing and supporting these workshops. His ongoing partnership with NSG Impact has brought valuable financial education to the community, offering insights from Chase’s banking professionals at no cost to attendees. The workshops are designed to engage and educate people of all ages, as evidenced by the diverse group of attendees at NSG Impact cont. on next pg.
