The Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) Task Force of the Association for Black Economic Power (ABEP) is dedicated to equipping the community with the tools and resources necessary to achieve financial literacy and economic stability. The task force is responsible for developing and implementing programs that educate individuals on budgeting, credit management, saving, and investing. By creating tailored initiatives, they aim to bridge the financial literacy gap and empower participants to make informed decisions about their financial futures. Additionally, the FEC Task Force collaborates with schools, community organizations, and financial institutions to ensure the accessibility and effectiveness of their programs. Their efforts play a vital role in ABEP’s mission to create lasting economic opportunities and wealth-building pathways within the community.
