United Way has provided Women's Empowerment with a $25,000 grant to partially fund our WE Works! Empowerment Through Financial Literacy program. We offer this new program to students who have completed our original eight-week class and in stable housing, but who still need addition resources to ensure their long-term success. As these women continue their job searches, we provide training to help them make the best use of their limited resources. The topics we cover in this class include attitudes toward money, personal budgeting, managing checking and savings accounts, prudent use of credit, sound shopping habits, basics of insurance, and utility deposits. Working toward the goal of financial self-sufficiency, WE Works! students meet twice per week to submit job applications, practice typing, complete Microsoft Office trainings, and complete the financial literacy curriculum.
