What is Financial Wellness for Women?
Financial Wellness for Women was developed in partnership with local bankers and financial planners with input from financial literacy program graduates and coaches. This 10-week, in-person, financial education program focuses on building healthy financial habits through goal-setting, budgeting, credit management, and long-term financial planning.
Participants, paired with a volunteer coach, receive individualized support and encouragement through a team approach that addresses unique goals and challenges.
Financial Wellness for Women is an educational approach to help women achieve their personal financial goals and build generational wealth.
Financial Wellness for Women is made possible by United Way of Greater New Bedford's Women United. Click here to learn more about Women United.
