In 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) launched Your Money, Your Goals, a comprehensive toolkit and accompanying training that helps social services and legal aid program staff, and community volunteers provide the people they serve with information on various financial topics. Whether someone wants to start saving for emergencies, learn how to improve their credit, build a plan to pay down debt, or just stretch their money a little further, Your Money, Your Goals can help.

In May, CFPB will be holding a series of free webinars open to the public for individuals and organizations who’d like to learn how to put Your Money, Your Goals tools and information to work in their community.

The webinars will cover how to plan your own training workshop, how others have adapted the training to fit their organization’s needs, and how you can order free copies of the toolkit. The schedule for the webinars is:
 

• Your Money, Your Goals for Social Services Programs
  May 11, 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT
   
• Your Money, Your Goals for Community Volunteers
  May 12, 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT
   
• Your Money, Your Goals for Legal Aid Organizations
  May 25, 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EDT
