Custom Workshops
Churches, schools, community, and other interest groups can request workshops or presentations if they have an available space or venue. There are fees associated with this service unless grant funds are available to support financial education workshops.
Employers can also request financial education workshops or lunch-n-learns for their employees in the workplace. A financially stressed employee is an employee at risk for low productivity, illness, and absenteeism.
