About Financial Education

Our financial education program offers classes with financial topics such as managing money, banking, and credit. We work on building partnerships to provide classes to the community.

Our program is also focusing on building capacity for partners and coalitions by providing best practices so they can learn how to talk about money with their clients/community members.

If you are interest in partnering with our program to provide this service, please send us an email to FinancialEd@hopelink.org

Financial education materials are available in multiple languages!

Financial Foundations Materials

Hopelink’s Financial Foundations curriculum and materials were created for financial education professionals, volunteers, service providers, and individuals who have a passion for supporting immigrants and refugees as they navigate financial systems in the United States. The materials can be used in a formal classroom setting, in small groups, or individually. They are free to download and customizable.

The Facilitator Guide (Spanish) was created to train and support facilitators, offering an introduction to facilitating with a coaching mindset, along with modules covering money management, banking, credit, and consumer protection.

Participant workbooks are available to download in multiple languages (Arabic, Chinese, Dari, English, Farsi, Korean, Pashto, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese).
