Bankruptcy judge talks financial literacy with high schoolers

Posted Date: 04/02/26 (09:13 AM)


Many thanks to John Ninfo for coming to Avon yesterday to speak with Mrs. Lydia D’Amato’s high school financial management students about his experiences as a bankruptcy judge. 


Ninfo, who’s now retired, founded the Credit Abuse Resistance Education, or CARE, Program, a personal financial literacy education outreach program to provide students with his unique knowledge, experiences, and stories, as well as personal finance lessons, tactics and techniques that will help them lead a financially responsible, consumer debt-free life. 


A worthwhile conversation at ANY age, but especially a young one.


Thanks again, Judge Ninfo!
