YW's Financial Empowerment Program

YW provides the only financial education program in Dallas with emphasis on long-term intervention and asset-growth. YWs Financial Empowerment program is a proven asset-building initiative that includes matched-savings accounts, case management, and a wide variety of financial educational offerings. YWs Financial Empowerment program equips participants with the necessary tools to make the right financial choices for their families thus lifting them out of poverty and propelling them one step closer to financial freedom and security.

The YW Financial Empowerment program services include: Financial Education Workshop Series, Tax Credit Education, Financial Planning, Continued Education, and IDA (or matched-savings) programs. YW knows that education is key to becoming financially empowered and self-sufficient. Therefore, the core of the program is the Financial Education Workshop Series, covering critical components such as saving, budgeting, banking, reducing debt, and building credit. Upon graduating from YW Financial Empowerment, clients have acquired new fiscally responsible behaviors that have a life-changing impact on the future of their entire family.

FINANCIAL EDUCATION WORKSHOP SERIES:
Expert volunteers representing some of Dallas largest financial institutions lead a six-week, 12-hour series on setting financial goals and spending plans, effective savings habits, credit, investing, and building assets. These small-group workshops begin with the fundamentals and proceed as the clients understanding grows. By teaching over a series of weeks, clients are better able to apply the skills learned and practice using tools while receiving individual coaching and reinforcement.
