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
