History

Founded in 2002 by a US Bankruptcy Judge, CARE was created to teach students about the responsible use of credit and the consequences of credit card abuse. CARE was turned over to the American Bankruptcy Institute, where it expanded into a nationally branded organization. In 2016, CARE received its 501(c)(3) status and has emerged as a national nonprofit community service organization dedicated to inspiring smart financial decision making by students and young adults.

Program Overview

CARE volunteers from the bankruptcy community (judges, trustees, attorneys…), provide free presentations focused on credit, budgets, and student loans, and use real life examples to help students avoid pitfalls in their financial futures.  CARE has a fantastic team in Denver and Cheyenne who welcome the opportunity to work with you and your students.  Request a FREE presentation today.  In-person and virtual presentations are available at your request.  Email requests and questions to outreach@cob.uscourts.gov.
