CLE: Helping Deadly Young Mob avoid the pitfalls of Buy Now Pay Later!
At the request of Indigenous Youth Mobility Pathways Project (IYMP) – Cairns, ATSILS delivered a timely Community Legal Education (CLE) workshop to a group of work-ready students on the common debt traps associated with popular Buy Now Pay Later credit systems such as AfterPay.The students were fully engaged in the content and curious about how to make their future earnings work for them. The session gave them a range of tips on avoiding being caught in spiraling debt and key referral agencies that can assist with debt problems if they do arise. In addition, it highlighted the importance of maintaining a positive credit rating for future borrowings.
The students left feeling more empowered to manage their finances and better informed about where to seek assistance to deal with any future financial pitfalls that may arise.
Once again we thank IYMP as we continue to foster this important community-led partnership that assists in nurturing these deadly young leaders of tomorrow.
