Do you want to get more involved in your community and help people gain skills and confidence in money management, building financial stability, and increasing household assets?

Join us at the Financial Futures Lunch & Learn on Wednesday, June 26, in Burlington. This FREE, informal get-together is for community-minded financial professionals who want to volunteer, mentor, or otherwise support local programs. There will be a short presentation on the New American Financial Empowerment Project, which has established a successful new model for building economic security in New American women. There also will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and networking with your peers.

Financial Futures is a program of the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) with free programming in Addison, Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle Counties. Our blended approach to classes, financial house parties, coaching, and business counseling – combined with tools and services like credit pulls, matched savings incentives, and access to secured credit cards – provides entry points for immediate support, and a path toward meeting financial goals and setting new ones. Simply put, we help people learn, earn, save, and own. Community volunteers help with classes, financial coaching, and mentoring, and there are many other ways to support this important work. Learn more at www.cvoeo.org/FF.
