PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Starting May 1, New Ventures Maine will offer My Money Works, a free five week class to help participants gain the skills and confidence to create a budget, explore use of credit, make a savings plan and set financial goals.
Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau, trainer for the class, said, “Managing your money is scary when you don’t feel in control. Regardless of how much money you have or what stage you are in your life, this class helps you find out where your dollars are going, set financial priorities, and take charge of managing your own money. This is an opportune time to start planning for spring vacations, start saving for a rainy day, or figure out how best to spend that tax refund.”
Classes will meet Tuesdays from May 1 to May 29, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the University of Maine at Presque Isle’s Preble Hall.
The class is open to women, men and couples of all ages and incomes, and its successful completion meets one of the requirements for the Family Development Account (FDA) or the Rainy Day Savings account.
Pre-registration by Wednesday, April 25, is required, and there is no fee. For more information or to register, contact Senechal-Jandreau at New Ventures Maine at 768-9635 or online at bit.ly/classesnvme.
Accommodations to individuals with disabilities are available upon request; some assistance with transportation and child care costs is also available.
