What people say
With love, from our
program students
My husband and I are millennial, first-time home buyers. We wanted to get out of renting and into a home of our own. But that was far easier said than done. I had the opportunity to take the Dollars and Good Sense class offered. This class was welcoming and easy for me to attend, as it was via Zoom each week. I was able to take the new skills and information they taught me and applied it to my life. The result is that 5-6 months later, my family has a home that we could afford. I now have hope!

The instructors were knowledgeable (about) financial wellness. Strong content, knowledge and years of experience with presentation skills to teach a wide range of participants. Participants were encouraged to share real life experiences.

Merging two financial educational programs, “Dollars and Good Sense” for adults and “Smart Money Commanders” for kids is a brilliant concept. This program will lead to lasting behavior changes and long-term goals.

Was a very good foundation for getting you in the right direction with your finances! It was a ton of fun and well worth your time!
The instructors did a fantastic job with real-world examples. Sharing their own experiences helped the class relate much more. Such a great idea teaching kids in the other room!
Curriculum and presentation was engaging and fun, yet met financial education goals.
