The program consists of five weekly classes. The first session will be focused on credit reports, how to understand them and how to address negative findings. In the second class we will discuss FICO scores, learn what they mean and how to improve your credit score. Participants will create a budget plan, learn about debt and payment management. Finally, you will learn how to pay yourself first and how to increase your savings.
Individuals who complete all five classes will receive a “Money Management” class diploma and a gift card at graduation. Please join us to take the first step toward “Money Management.” Refreshments will be served at each class.
