A program we are offering is MoneySmart classes.
MoneySmart is an FDIC developed and approved training curriculum that teaches
participants a variety of financial wellness topics such as banking, debt
management, credit, budgeting and more. We have just completed the first
sessions of classes and one thing we have seen, even in the short time, is how
much financial literacy is needed in our communities. No matter what your
knowledge, income or situation, it is something we can all benefit from and
should be a lifelong learning process.
Classes are proving to be very lively and people are
enjoying them. Five to twenty people are in attendance at any given class and
we look forward to see our numbers grow as time goes on. People are gaining new
knowledge and are able to refresh on topics they were previously familiar with
as well. As the classes continue I believe we are going to see some interesting
topics and questions raised. We find we can learn a lot from each other and
well as from the curriculum.
Classes are currently being held throughout
Westmoreland and Allegheny counties and locations are continually being added.
