Dear John,

As a member of the Financial Coaching Network, we know how much you care about offering the best services you can to your program participants. By joining this Network and signing up for our bi-monthly webinars, we see your interest in connecting with peers and learning about promising practices and tools you can apply to your work.

This month, in place of attending our usual bi-monthly Financial Coaching Network peer call, we encourage you to check out these tools and resources from Prosperity Now that you may find helpful for your work:

The Financial Coaching Program Design Guide: A Participant-Centered Approach is a step-by-step guide to designing a financial coaching program tailored to participants’ needs.
Building Financial Capability: A Planning Guide for Integrated Services is a comprehensive toolkit to help organizations understand their clients’ financial position, identify the services that will improve their financial lives, determine who will provide the services and gain stakeholder buy-in.
The African American Financial Capability Initiative: An Implementation Blueprint shares lessons and insights from Prosperity Now’s work with more than 30 organizations that built and implemented community-centered financial stability projects to improve and protect the economic security of African Americans in six cities.
The directory of workplace financial wellness programs was created in partnership with Washington University in St. Louis to catalog the services being offered by employers to support their employees’ financial capability and well-being.

Do you have resources you have used to design and improve your financial coaching programs that you want to share with the Financial Coaching Network? Send them along to [email protected].

And, if you are not already registered for the Financial Coaching Network Bi-Monthly Peer Call series, you can find past recordings and sign up for future ones here. Our next call will be Thursday, October 17 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. EDT.

Happy Coaching!

The Financial Coaching Network Team
