After successfully completing the financial literacy classes, participants may choose to begin our next service: Free to Save - Individual Financial Coaching.
In this service participants will work closely with one of our Free to Save Financial Coaches for up to six months. During individual financial coaching sessions, the participant will determine the focus depending on individual financial goals and needs. Popular topics have been budgeting, credit repair, and setting short- and long-term financial goals.
Participating in Individual Financial Coaching is one way to increase your position on the waiting list for our next service, Free to Save - Asset Savings and Purchase.
