Financial education and empowerment are essential services for the whole family. Financial Capability services include financial education through workshops or one-on-one coaching and access to low cost financial products.
A financial coach helps their clients with the basics of money management. They work with clients who may have a bad relationship with money or who have other obstacles keeping them from managing their finances well. Their goal is to help their clients develop healthy money habits that will last. Financial coaches educate their clients on the basics of personal finance and work with them to create a financial plan that reflects their goals. They also empower their clients to take responsibility for their decisions and provide accountability as their clients work to implement the lessons they learn.
