Free financial workshop on Tuesdays

BRATTLEBORO- Southeastern Vermont Community Action is inviting participants to register for its upcoming Financial Fitness  workshop series, which started April 2. This seven-part workshop series will help participants improve their relationship with money, develop strong financial habits, and take steps toward prosperity. SEVCA’s instructors will utilize tools from the acclaimed “Your Money Your Goals” curriculum developed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Topics covered include: saving, budgeting, credit, home buying, insurance, purchasing a car, and saving for college. The instructor will also provide individualized financial coaching, as needed, to help participants and their families become more financially secure.
Those who complete the course may be eligible to join SEVCA’s matched savings program. Participants earn a match for every $1 they save (up to $1,000) if they save a minimum of $25 each month toward home purchases or repairs, obtaining education or job training, starting or enhancing their own business, or car purchases or repairs needed for transportation to work.
The workshop series is free, open to the public, and will be held every Tuesday at Vermont Adult Learning, 90 Birge Street, from 5:30 to 7 pm, through May 14. Registration is required.
