MMI’s free education workshops are available to schools, where financial responsibility is taught in a classroom environment from kindergarten through college, as well as community organizations, such as churches, businesses and senior centers. In 2007, MMI provided more than 480,000 free financial educational programs, helping consumers get out of the red and into the black. In 2007, MMI counselors assisted more than 180,000 people by providing free credit and debt counseling.

MMI also engages the community through education by recruiting and training Certified Money Management Volunteers (CMMV) from local businesses and community service organizations to teach the importance of financial responsibility. With the help of certified volunteers, MMI increases the number of classes offered and the number of people that receive financial and credit education through its programs.

Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself; indeed, it seems to execute itself.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
