Royal offers a series of financial education lessons at several correctional facilities in Wisconsin, including the state Department of Corrections. Royal now offers the program virtually to continue education during the pandemic. We have heard from program participants following their release that they were able to secure a job and open a checking & savings account. Many use what they learn, like setting up direct deposit and automatic transfers into their savings accounts, to improve their financial future.
