Building Self-Reliance through Financial Empowerment

FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT CLASSES

From the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau:
“We’re working to expand the reach of Your Money, Your Goals to more consumers, so we’ve selected 30 new organizations across the country to implement Your Money, Your Goals training with their frontline staff. These organizations include state and local government agencies, social services, legal aid, volunteer-based, and worker organizations, and a consortium of three consumer development financial institutions.”

With this designation, Genesee County Habitat for Humanity can help provide you the foundation for educational training to key staff and individuals, further empowering our community to achieve the American dream. Your Money, Your Goals is a toolkit to help front line staff and volunteers as they work with consumers on their path to financial empowerment.
