A STRONG FINANCIAL FUTURE REQUIRES MORE THAN A STEADY PAYCHECK. WE EQUIP PEOPLE WITH THE TOOLS AND GUIDANCE TODAY, SO THEY CAN PLAN FOR A THRIVING TOMORROW.
UWMC offers flexible financial literacy workshops designed to meet our community where they are in life and location. Whether you’re a school, nonprofit, housing program, or community-based organization, our workshops complement your efforts while empowering participants to feel more confident in their financial decisions.
WHAT WE OFFER
ONLINE FINANCIAL BASICS WORKSHOPS
Our Online Financial Basics Workshops offer a rotating series of sessions covering the four pillars of financial literacy:
- Managing Income vs. Expenses (Budgeting)
- Planning for Savings
- Credit and Debt Management
- Investing and Future Planning
Community members are welcome to join any individual session or attend the full series. By completing all four, participants gain a strong foundation in financial literacy that can help them build confidence and plan for the future.
STAFF FINANCIAL LITERACY SERIES
Staff workshop series help local organizations equip their staff with the four pillars of financial knowledge. When staff feel confident, they can pass that knowledge along to the clients and communities they serve. We’re excited to share that this program will officially launch in the new year as a pay-for-service opportunity.
IN PERSON FINANCIAL LITERACY SERIES
Our In-Person Financial Literacy Classes are offered in partnership with schools, colleges, and community organizations. These workshops are tailored to meet the needs of young adults, students, working families, and farmworker communities—providing practical tools to strengthen financial confidence and stability.
Because these sessions are delivered through partner organizations, community members who are interested can connect with their local school, community center, or service provider to learn more.
MYMONEYPATH RESOURCE
MyMoneyPath is an interactive hub designed by the United Ways of California to empower you with personalized and trusted financial resources. Whether you’re looking for guidance on budgeting, saving, or financial education, MyMoneyPath can help you navigate resources in growing your money, saving your money, and planning for the future—all so that you and your family can thrive.
