Our Financial Literacy Workshop is a program designed specifically for immigrants who want to learn more about and participate in the U.S. financial landscape. The workshop offers a thorough introduction to important financial topics listed below with the information specifically adapted to best fit the practical challenges immigrants often face, such as working with financial institutions without a Social Security number, and managing the cost of living in a new country and many more hurdles. Our goal is to help make these problems less off a burden and start people on a journey to build Novi Opes.
This is designed to be a participatory workshop, not a boring lecture!
