Hello and Welcome to the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, I’m your host, George Wacker, In this episode, we meet with the Greater Lehigh Valley REALTORS (GLVR) to talk more about their innovative pilot program aimed at enhancing youth education on financial literacy.
Joining us are Lori Campbell, GLVR’s 2024 President, Michael Bernadyn, 2024 President Elect, and Justin Porembo, CEO of GLVR, who I used to play wiffle ball with in college believe it or not.
GLVR’s initiative seeks to partner with local school districts to introduce essential concepts of savings, credit, and homeownership to middle and high school students. Through interactive presentations and thoughtfully crafted materials, GLVR aims to inspire the next generation to shape their financial literacy, foster community development through property ownership, and nurture future leaders within our community.
Tune in as we explore the goals, action plan, and potential impact of this forward-thinking program, designed to empower youth with the knowledge and skills necessary for a financially secure future.
