This Train-The-Trainer workshop is for representatives of non-profit agencies, faith communities, and organizations that have an opportunity to work with others to increase financial literacy. The purpose of Dollar Works2 is to strengthen people's skills at managing their personal finances and taking control of their financial decision making. Activities are based on assumptions that personal financial management skills are learned and culture influences decisions about money. Dollar Works2 activities are designed for use in one-to-one situations or in group settings. Materials are culturally adapted with English and Spanish versions available. Participants are expected to send evaluations from Dollar Works2 program participants to CSU Extension for inclusion in statewide impact. The first person from an agency's registration includes the Dollar Works2 hardcopy notebook and CDs plus food for breaks and lunches for the two days. An additional person from the same agency office may register to receive the hardcopy notebook at the same rate as the first person, or may register at the lower price to receive the same training but without the hardcopy notebook. Each participating agency/entity must register to receive at least one hardcopy notebook. Additional participants from that agency/entity must be from the same physical office address. Topics included in the training are: Connecting Culture and Financial Resources; Making Decisions About Money; Making a Spending Plan; Managing a Spending Plan; Saving & Investing; Understanding a Pay Statement and Taxes; Using a Bank Account; Using Credit Wisely; Managing Debt; Managing Risk with Insurance; Solving Consumer Problems; Teaching Children About Money. |
