The Financial Education Unit provides direct face-to-face service to our members and assists them in setting and attaining financial goals and achieving economic stability.

The Unit provides confidential, individual assistance to members in financial difficulty and will develop a financial plan tailor-made to each individual’s needs.

Financial matters can be puzzling.
Perhaps you just need:

1. Someone you could talk to about your financial situation.
2. Reliable and unbiased help in clarifying an issue, resolving a problem, or pursuing some goal.
3. Assistance with identifying options, assessing alternatives, making decisions, developing    strategies and planning actions.
4. Guidance to develop a plan for spending, bill paying and saving that systematically reduces debt.

This is what our financial education program is all about.
