FREE financial coaching sessions

Financial coaching is a process to help people link their behavior to their goals and values. Coaching is a way of working together in an equal partnership rather than as an “expert” there to give advice or issue directives. Coaches provide regular one-on-one sessions to help you link your goals and values to your financial dream, create an action plan and track progress towards the goals mutually set by you and your Financial Coach.

Individuals and families can get help with:

  • Identifying your financial goals
  • Budgeting
  • Debt reduction
  • Creating a plan(s)
  • Job benefits
  • Saving strategies
  • And more! Bring your questions!
