NeighborWorks America is ensuring individuals and families have access to the education, skills, resources and support needed to make sound decisions that allow them to achieve and sustain financial security.
Financial capability program
We promote and support an approach that combines financial education (to share basic skills and knowledge), financial counseling (to resolve specific issues and challenges in the short term) and financial coaching (to encourage behavior change and achieve positive and sustainable long-term outcomes).
Our multi-faceted financial capability program is making strides in encouraging long-term shifts in attitudes and behaviors, raising awareness about financial capability across sectors, and making a positive, widespread impact on community development.
We provide support to a network of more than 80 NeighborWorks organizations that offer financial capability services, including financial education, financial coaching, volunteer income tax assistance and individual development accounts.
What is Financial Capability?
It’s the ability to navigate life’s events. It’s more than just setting financial goals...it’s actually building toward them.
