The Alabama Cooperative Extension System is dedicated to supporting families and individuals that have access to limited resources by expanding their knowledge and skills in how to improve and manage their financial health. Many parents struggle financially because they do not know how to improve the financial health of their family. The Parent-Child Financial Literacy in Progress Program—better known as PC-FLIPP—is here to provide the information and tools needed to improve your financial well-being. The program wants to help you build a foundation that will help you feel secure in managing your finances.
