ISU Extension Office hosting financial empowerment class

On Monday, Sept. 24, the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is offering training on ?Your Money, Your Goals,? a financial empowerment tool kit that provides front line workers with resources and tools to help their clients take steps toward financial stability and self-sufficiency.

This training is designed for service providers, volunteers, clergy members or anyone interested in helping others take steps toward financial stability and self-sufficiency. This opportunity helps build the capacity to integrate financial empowerment into helping relationships as well as help to improve the overall health and well-being of Iowa individuals and families.

?You?ll learn about tools and resources to help others understand their financial values, use credit wisely, manage debt effectively and access appropriate community resources,? said Mary M. Weinand, a human sciences specialist in family finance who is teaching the course.

This six-hour course will be held at the Henry County Extension office, 127 Main St., Mt. Pleasant, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Participants will be responsible for their own lunch. There is a fee for this program.

To register, go to the Henry County events calendar or contact the extension office. The registration deadline is Monday, Sept. 17. For additional information contact Mary Weinand at mweinand@iastate.edu or visit www.extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/your-money-goals.
