Who We Are<br />
A diverse group <strong>of</strong> women leaders who st<strong>and</strong> up <strong>and</strong> take action to<br />
help women <strong>and</strong> families in our community work towards financial<br />
security.<br />
What We Do<br />
Provide women <strong>and</strong> families with financial education <strong>and</strong><br />
resources including:<br />
n Credit, banking <strong>and</strong> budgeting workshops<br />
n Tools to help families save<br />
n One-on-one coaching to achieve financial goals<br />
Thanks to the success <strong>of</strong> last year’s Power <strong>of</strong> the Purse event, the<br />
Women’s Leadership Council is now working with school leaders<br />
<strong>and</strong> nonpr<strong>of</strong>it partners to <strong>of</strong>fer adult financial education services<br />
at two family financial centers–Alfred E. Burr School <strong>and</strong> John C.<br />
Clark, Jr. Elementary <strong>and</strong> Middle School–two <strong>of</strong> Hartford’s<br />
community schools.<br />
Why Community Schools<br />
Community schools are ideal locations for engaging families.<br />
The schools already serve as community hubs, bringing essential<br />
resources <strong>and</strong> services to children <strong>and</strong> families, integrating<br />
supportive health <strong>and</strong> human services with academic learning.<br />
The work <strong>of</strong> <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong>’s Women’s Leadership Council <strong>and</strong><br />
partners adds adult financial education programs to the array<br />
<strong>of</strong> services already <strong>of</strong>fered at the community schools. Services,<br />
which are available to parents <strong>and</strong> neighborhood residents, include<br />
credit <strong>and</strong> budget workshops, one-on-one financial coaching,<br />
volunteer income tax assistance, referral services <strong>and</strong> matched<br />
savings programs.<br />
