The Alliance for Economic Inclusion held a conference at the Kauffman Foundation Conference Center of Kansas City, Missouri recently.  Three students of the Excelsior Springs Job Corps, Kansas City Alternate Training Location were in attendance.  The focus of the AEI conference was on expanding financial services for underserved populations, including savings accounts, affordable remittance products, small dollar loans programs, targeted financial education programs and other asset building programs. The students also participated in two breakout sessions:  ”Discussing Latino community support partnership opportunities” and “Discussing Free Financial Education Resources for the Kansas City Community”.
