Financial Literacy Programs

We have the classes to help you take or improve control over your finances. A wide range of classes including checking account management, budgeting, credit management, and homeownership are offered. Most classes are provided at no cost to those in the communities we serve.

Are you a civic group, employer, non-profit agency, or faith-based group looking for a speaker on financial matters? Over 400 classes were provided last year to community groups. Phone us to arrange a topic, time and date convenient for you.

A Home of My Own?
Almost everyone dreams of owning his/her own home. Financial advisors have long proclaimed home ownership as one of the best investments one can make. Despite this, many people make mistakes during the process that could end up costing them money or, in some cases, their homes.

This course prepares you with information necessary to make informed decisions and reduces the confusion and worry of this major financial undertaking. Even if you don’t plan on purchasing in the near future, this class will help you build the solid financial foundation necessary for responsible home ownership and enable you to avoid any financial pitfalls.

Those attending all sessions will receive a Housing Education Certificate. This certificate is required by many lenders and down payment assistance programs to meet eligibility requirements for Affordable Home Buyer Programs.
