Share your financial expertise
Many individuals living below 50% AMI have not had the resources in their communities to help them develop effective savings plans, making them vulnerable to unexpected expenses.
Share your financial expertise to help individuals and families set a foundation for economic stability.
To get started:
Research local organizations that offer money management trainings.
Partner with these entities to provide workshops and advisement addressing financial goals, opening accounts, understanding credit, making budgets, managing money, reducing debt, and tax preparation.
