These offerings can be virtual or in-person and are free of charge and open to the public.

Educational Series

Personal Financial Foundations is a series of four classes that cover the basics of managing one’s finances. The courses are:

• Overview – Touching on the key points of the series and how to start the path towards a better financial future.
• Budgeting – Hands-on dive into budgeting with activities that can be used later to determine one’s financial status.
• Credit – Credit is used more than most realize, so knowing how it is reported, scores calculated, and common misinformation is key to building good credit.
• Banking—Having a bank account provides a level of financial freedom, but it requires management. We wille cover the basics of banking and how to get an account if one has struggled in the past.
