Workshop Overview:

This comprehensive, free workshop focuses on the essentials of financial wellbeing. Participants will explore topics such as:

· Budgeting Basics: Learn how to plan and track spending, understand essential vs. non-essential expenses, and set realistic financial goals.

· Demystifying Financial Jargon and improving Financial Literacy: Develop confidence with everyday financial terminology and understand everyday money terms clearly.

· Savings and Loans: Discover the importance of saving, how to build a savings habit, and how credit unions offer fair and transparent loan options.

· Finding Affordable Alternatives to Banks: Learn about trusted, community-based financial services—including the support and ethical practices of credit unions like ours.

By the end of the session, attendees will not only leave with useful tools and strategies but also with connections to affordable, non-profit financial services that put people before profits. The workshop encourages questions, group discussion, and one-to-one support for those who may need more personalized guidance.
