Fundamental Financial Skills -Free Financial Education Classes

Our Fundamental Financial Series (FFS) provides the essential tools required to make positive financial decisions.  The virtual classes are offered monthly and focus on goal setting, saving, basic budgeting, spending, and understanding credit.  Based on the FDIC’s Money Smart curriculum, our classes are facilitated to encourage open dialogue, peer connection, and skill and resource sharing.

There are no eligibility requirements and no long-term commitment, making FFS a great fit for someone beginning their financial journey or in need of a financial refresher.
