Financial Education

 

 

The Financial Education services of the Office of Resilience and Community Services can assist you in learning more about certain financial topics you might be struggling with or in achieving a better understanding of your own personal finances. The combined efforts of educators and organizers in the local community has seen over 10,000 participants educated in financial literacy since those statistics were tracked in July 2011. There is no shortage of resources in the community to take advantage of, so please contact us today if you are interested in any of these classes or workshops!

 

Do you want a second-chance bank account? Want to learn how to better handle a bank account?

The Start Fresh! workshop created by Bank On Louisville is geared specifically towards those in the community looking for a second-chance bank account and a way back into the mainstream banking system. This two-hour workshop will cover the basics of how to manage your bank account and money management in general while providing you with a wealth of resources on making decisions concerning where to bank and how to save your money.
