Programs: Workshops for tenants to prevent eviction as well as customized workshops that allow us to meet the needs of individuals in our community. Lastly, our flagship program, Makes Cents, was designed to address the lack of financial education available to High school students in the region. Makes Cents provides an exciting and engaging opportunity for students to be exposed to the basic tenets of financial literacy as they prepare for work, college, and life. By educating students about their financial futures, we empower them to be productive and contributing citizens to our region, nation, and the world.
