HOULTON — Starting March 3, Women, Work and Community will offer “My Money Works: Tools for Smart Money Choices,” a free four-week class to develop skills and confidence to stretch your money, pay bills, reduce debt, find money for savings, plan for retirement and set personal 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.”
At the end of the class, participants will have a plan in place to achieve greater financial stability. “My Money Works” will be held from March 3-24 each Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Houlton Higher Education Center.
A follow-up session is scheduled to provide additional networking and support. Successful completion of this class meets one of the requirements for the Family Development Account (FDA) matched savings account program, which can be used to help purchase a first home, pursue a college education, start or expand a small business.
The class is open to women, men and couples of all ages and incomes. Pre-registration by Feb. 27 is required, and there is no fee for the training. For more information or to register for the class, contact Senechal-Jandreau at WWC at 764-0050 or senechal@maine.edu; TTY users, please call Relay Service 711.
