YW Financial Empowerment is here to help you manage your finances. You can become more financially stable, and achieve goals you never thought possible. There are many financial education programs to choose from.

Financial Education Workshop Series

Learn how to set and reach financial goals in this 12-hour workshop series. These classes will help you develop spending plans so you can keep track of your money; and they will help you understand how to:

  • Use credit wisely
  • Invest for the future
  • Manage a bank account
  • Increase your savings
  • Reduce your debt

We start with the basics and then build upon them over a series of weeks, so you can apply the skills as you learn them. You’ll get individual coaching while you are enrolled in the Workshop Series, too.
