FREE FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT WORKSHOPS
Spring 2024 Series

Taking charge of your money and creating a pathway to financial self-sufficiency can feel difficult, and sometimes insurmountable, for many. One22 Resource Center hopes to simplify this process and help you take an active role in your financial life with our Financial Empowerment Workshops. These free events are built to help low- to moderate-income community members make incremental and meaningful steps towards financial stability.

This spring, we are excited to create a bilingual experience for participants, highlighted by award-winning podcaster, Accredited Financial Counselor, author and speaker Jen Hemphill. Jen will help us kick-off this series with her “Simple Finances: Ditch the Overwhelm and Take Control” presentations on April 17 (Spanish) and April 18 (English).
