How it works
Meeting. Once you get in touch, we'll find a time that works for both you and your coach. You'll meet virtually or over the phone with one of our coaches for an hour at a time. We have both English- and Spanish-speaking coaches. Don't worry if you have debt or other financial issues - we've seen it all and are here to work with you!
Goal setting. Come to your first session with a financial goal in mind, and your coach will help you clarify that goal. For example, if you want to raise our credit score, we can decide how many points you'd like it to increase and a realistic end date to check your score again.
Making an action plan. Together we'll make an action plan that works for you and your situation. Potential steps in your action plan could be creating a budget, finding credit cards with lower interest, or contacting a mortgage lender. We can also refer you to community resources if you need more tailored assistance.
Following up. At the following session(s), we'll track your progress together and keep you accountable to your plan. Coaches are available to meet as many times as you need in order to fulfill your goal or establish new goals.
