Lifting each out of poverty until there is one less

The Financial Literacy & Capability program consists of classes for adults and youth designed to teach the following money principals:

•   Budgeting is not just for the rich or those with money

•   Savings is the start of wealth creation

•   You control your money…don’t let your money control you

•   Everyone needs a budget

•   Confidence in managing money and understanding the basics of finance

The program is organized into two sections:

• Section 1 consists of a six-week session focused on managing savings and checking accounts, creating and using a budget, understanding and using credit, eliminating debt, and learning ways to save and cut expenses. Sessions for adults meet mid-morning or evening. Sessions for youth, ages 13-18, meet after school. Each session is limited to 10 participants.

                  •   Adult classes are held: Monday mornings, Tuesdays evenings, and Friday afternoons

                  •   Teen classes are held: Thursdays after-school and Saturdays

• Section 2 consists of seminars that are open to the general community on various financial related topics and will include guest speakers and experts. The seminars vary by topic and time according to the schedule of the guest expert. Please review our calendar for dates and times of topics to be presented. Registration is requested (although not required) due to limited space.
