Join Us to Volunteer Coach in Financial Wellness Program Wednesdays 5:30-7:30 IN-PERSON in Somerville, MA

Actively-seeking: Volunteers for upcoming financial wellness programs WEDNESDAYS 5:30- 7:30 PM EST Starting May 6th in partnership with Somerville Housing Authority!

An hour of your time can start a woman in your community on the road to financial independence.

You do not have to be a financial wizard to be a coach. All you need is the desire to help someone in your community make the most of the money she has.

Women's Money Matters builds the financial literacy, confidence, and security women and girls living on low incomes through a unique program that combines instructional workshops and personal, one-to-one coaching.

We work with clients referred by local social service organizations and customize our program to their needs. Local financial institutions assist in leading our classes. Volunteer coaches serve as personal mentors. The special mentoring component customizes assistance to each client.

Women living on low incomes- who typically have no access to the financial advisors that educate those with higher incomes - get individualized help with the specific financial issues that keep them in poverty.

Teach Financial Skills that Last a Lifetime

As a volunteer coach, you’ll provide ongoing, one-on-one support for your client - and we’ll support you in that effort. As a start, here’s a summary of what we ask of our coaches:

• A genuine interest in and commitment to working with women with low incomes
• Strict confidentiality of all client financial and personal information
• 8 week commitment to your participant
• Participation in a coaches’ orientation
• One or two follow-up contacts with your client between workshops
• Participation in our monthly Coaches’ Exchange

For an hour a week, you can guide someone in your community along the road to financial independence. You don’t have to be a money-management expert to participate, just someone who wants to help. Per the request of Women's Money Matters students, all coaches are women.
