Veterans Financial Literacy Program

“

A special note for BLS Volunteers from the Honorable Laurel M. Isicoff about the BLS Veterans’ Financial Literacy Project

The Veteran’s Financial Literacy Program (the “VFLP”) is a joint endeavor of the Business Law Section’s Pro Bono Committee and Financial Literacy Task Force and Mission United Broward and Legal Services of Greater Miami.  The Pro Bono Committee’s mission is to have one hundred percent participation by its members in pro bono.  To that end, the Pro Bono Committee is always searching for opportunities for its members who do not want to “go to court.” The VFLP provides this opportunity, because none of our volunteers needs to know more than how to use a credit card, a bank account and what is necessary to balance a budget.

The Honorable Laurel M. Isicoff
