Financial Stability

Building Pathways to Economic Empowerment

Team Meetings are held on the Third Wednesday at 12pm

The Financial Stability Community Team empowers Hispanic individuals and families to take control of their financial futures through culturally relevant financial education, entrepreneurship training, and access to community resources.

We recognize that financial systems in the U.S. can feel overwhelming—especially for those navigating language, cultural, and systemic barriers. Our team works to close these gaps by providing trusted, bilingual guidance and opportunities that support economic mobility and stability.

Strategic Goal #1

Facilitate financial literacy in the community

Strategic Goal #2

Build collective capacity to increase access to financial services & community resources

What We Do

Financial Literacy & Education

We offer workshops and classes in Spanish covering practical topics like budgeting, saving, building credit, banking, and managing debt. Our goal is to equip participants with the tools and confidence to make informed financial decisions for themselves and their families.

Entrepreneurship Support

Through our bilingual Entrepreneur Workshop Series, aspiring small business owners gain the knowledge and skills to launch and sustain their ventures. We cover business planning, marketing, licensing, and financing—empowering participants to turn ideas into thriving local enterprises.

Connection to Resources

We partner with financial institutions, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies to connect community members with services such as banking access, credit-building tools, small business support, and rent and utility assistance.

Why It Matters

When individuals and families have the knowledge and support to make sound financial decisions, it ripples into every aspect of their lives—education, housing, healthcare, and overall well-being. By investing in financial empowerment, we’re helping build a stronger, more prosperous future for all.

Financial Stability Team Leadership

The members of the Financial Stability Team are skilled professionals with a passion for creating understanding and health around a potentially stressful subject – money. They are personally devoted to mentoring community members towards a stable future and a positive relationship with their finances.
