The U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Southern District of California
takes the lead with credit-abuse educational outreach
for high school and college students.
About Our CARE Program
John J. Hargrove, former judge at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California, instituted the Credit Abuse Resistance Education(CARE) Program in the federal judiciary's Southern District of California (which encompasses San Diego and Imperial counties), and is still presenting the program today.
Modeled after the successful CARE Program created by Judge John Ninfo (U.S. Bankruptcy Court - Western District of New York), this program is aimed at high school seniors and college students and teaches them about the ins and outs of using credit and how to wisely use credit cards.
The goal of the CARE Program is to train young men and women to intelligently manage their credit cards and credit-card debt and to keep them from ever seeing the inside of a bankruptcy court.
