Money Smart / Financial Literacy

SCH provides financial fitness workshops that focus on budget preparation, money management and the importance of financial responsibility.  These workshops educate, encourage and empower clients to take steps to rectify their current situation and move towards better financial fitness and self-sufficiency.  For many immigrants, these classes are an introduction to the American banking system.  Through these classes they gain the skills to increase their credit scores and become loan-ready.  Workshops are available in both English and Spanish.  About 90% of those taking Money Smart classes are women.
