Consumer Welfare Alliance Chapters are student-led local teams that bring our mission into real communities. Each chapter partners with nearby high schools, colleges, community centers, and local organizations to deliver practical workshops and resources on everyday consumer and financial decision-making—helping people recognize manipulative marketing (including AI-driven tactics), avoid common spending traps, and build confident habits around budgeting, saving, credit, and smart purchasing. Chapters also run community-specific initiatives—like “scam-spotting” sessions, grocery and subscription budgeting clinics, and consumer rights guides—so the education is relevant to local needs while staying connected to our national standards, training, and shared curriculum.
