Consumer Education

A head-spinning marketplace

The consumer marketplace has become global, accessible across an array of new devices, and increasingly complicated for each new generation. Today’s young adults face an array of choices that previous generations couldn’t have even imagined.

How we help

NCL offers numerous resources for consumers to help navigate the marketplace, across many facets of our issue areas. Our LifeSmarts program is a free, national consumer literacy competition and scholarship opportunity that gives youth the skills needed to become consumer-savvy adults.
