Financial Literacy Training

Our Financial Empowerment Program provides participants with the skills necessary to make informed, critical, and healthy decisions regarding their personal finances.

Do you have a checking account? Are you aware of the high cost of credit card debt? Is your credit history in good shape? Are you spending your money wisely? These and other questions are addressed in the six-session Financial Empowerment course.
