CENTERSTONE FINANCIAL COACHING PROGRAM 

Interested in learning how to reduce your stress and anxiety about money?

You can look forward to:

• Working with a trained financial coach, one-on-one for 5-months (January-May 2014)
• Creating a budget that works for you
• Identifying financial goals that you want to achieve
• Meeting with your coach every month to stay on track with your financial goals
• Learning how to make your money work harder & smarter for you

Centerstone’s Financial Coach Program provides free and confidential coaching to help you manage your money and improve your financial future. A financial coach is a mentor and a guide. Unlike a financial counselor, the coach program is driven by you with the focus on long term progress, not emergency relief.  This is a 5 month program that requires a commitment to meet with an assigned volunteer coach 1-2 times a month. A trained volunteer coach will work with you, one-on-one, to help you:

• Create financial goals
• Start and keep a budget
• Save towards a goal
• Better understand credit
