The Healing and Wellness Tribe’s Financial Literacy Program was created to help single head of household women and their families improve their understanding of financial concepts and services, so they are empowered to make informed choices and take action to improve their present and long-term financial well-being.  As part of a six-week course, we equip each program participant with the resources to help them better understand and adjust to handling all of the responsibilities that come with managing money.

The Financial Literacy Program offers instruction to program participants the form of seminars and workshops on a number of financial literacy topics, including but not limited to: how to manage money, budgeting and saving, banking and loans, credit and credit reports, record keeping, increase your savings, protect your assets, taxes and tax credits, identity theft, foreclosure protection, loss mitigation counseling and insurance and first-time home buyer preparedness.

The Financial Literacy Program will be conducted in partnership with Chase Bank, Bank of America, Citi Bank, and Wells Fargo and facilitated by qualified volunteers from said financial institutions as well as volunteer undergrad students and the The Healing and Wellness Tribe staff. We anticipate funding this particular program through grant funding as well as by contributions from corporate and private donations.
