​During this 30 hour service learning experience I worked in a group with 3 other students. We were tasked with creating, developing, and implementing a Family Financial Literacy Conference for the agency's families to attend. During the conference I also helped to provide childcare to the children of clients. This experience allowed me to observe first-hand the types of services an agency like this provided to children birth to 3 years old and their families.
