Do you have clients who are anxious about their financial situation? Maybe they need help improving their credit report, setting up a budget or managing their debt?
The Community Service Society’s Financial Coaching Corps project can help. The program is designed to build the financial capabilities of low-wage individuals, families, and young adults throughout New York City. Volunteers, age 55 years or older, are trained to serve as financial coaches assisting clients to better manage money and achieve economic security. Coaches work one-on-one with clients in the following areas: creating a budget and setting financial goals; obtaining, reviewing, and correcting credit reports; developing a debt reduction plan; screening for public benefits and tax credits; and providing information on banking and avoiding fringe financial services.
If you have clients that need free financial coaching please have them call (212) 614-5586. The program also places coaches in community-based agencies. If you are interested in having a financial coach at your agency please call the number listed above for more information.
