Our Commitment
We are dedicated to helping you achieve financial security and empowering you with the knowledge and resources needed for personal finance management, financial coaching, and financial counseling. We believe that financial literacy is a critical component of overall well-being, and we are passionate about helping our community members achieve their financial goals. Our Resource Specialists are trained professionals who stay up-to-date on the latest financial strategies and tools, ensuring you receive the most current and effective advice.
Workshops and Seminars
In addition to one-on-one coaching, we offer a variety of workshops and seminars on financial literacy topics. These sessions are designed to provide practical knowledge and skills that you can apply to your everyday financial decisions. Topics include understanding credit scores, creating a budget, saving for emergencies, and planning for retirement. Our workshops are open to all community members and are a great way to learn in a supportive group setting.
“My Resource Specialist met with me privately about my situation, my goals, and what I could do in the future. I was so happy to share my concerns with somebody who was really listening to me. I even cried. She knew that I couldn’t really think too far into the future, because I needed some stability before I could make big plans.
She connected me to community resources that I did not know about that changed my life. With her help, I was recently able to move into a two-bedroom place, which really made all of our lives better. And I’ve been able to move on to my next goal—buying a car. She has gotten me moving in the right direction.”
