The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan. That’s just
what the YWCA Financial Empowerment program provides – an
individualized plan with tools and long-term solutions to make
your dreams come true.
If
you’re struggling with personal finances and household budgets,
you’re not alone. Many households struggle to set a budget and
live within their means.
In
addition to financial literacy, the YWCA Tax Education
program will help you understand tax credits and refunds for
which you may qualify.
