As a financial advisor, I know the importance of financial literacy. However, not everyone has the luxury of having a financial advisor. Sometimes those who need help the most, can't access it. That's why I'm so passionate about being a volunteer and board member of The Women's Resource of Greater Houston. The Women's Resource teaches free personal finance classes to women, children (and sometimes even men) in the greater Houston area. As a volunteer, I teach classes on basic financial tools that everyone needs to succeed in life!
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
There have been many instances after I have taught a class that someone has come up to me afterwards to thank me for helping them realize something they should be doing or need to change. I truly believe I have a strong impact on people and that slowly The Women's Resource is helping people achieve financial literacy.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
try to recruit more volunteers so that we could have more of an impact educating people in the Houston area!
MY ROLE:
Volunteer & I help teach women the basic financial skills necessary from managing their credit to basic investments.
