How to Bring the
Financial Literacy Project
to Your Community!

On-Site Training

Womankind's Financial Literacy Project (FLP) Leaders Training Program prepares women’s centers and other non-profit organizations serving women and girls to offer FLP classes in your community.

FLP classes can:

• help women become more confident and competent money managers
• raise community awareness of your non-profit organization
• generate income for your Center and involve many eager community volunteers

The one-day Leaders Training Program teaches you how to:

• plan, implement, advertise and evaluate the program
• locate speakers from your community
• tailor the curriculum to the age and interests of the group

The Leaders Training Program also includes discussion about:

• changing the way we think about money
• the problems of gender-based inequity
• the vulnerability of financially-dependent women

• how women can work together for change

Any non-profit or not-for profit organization serving women and/or girls may offer FLP classes by taking the training and by agreeing to honor Womankind’s policy to make classes accessible to all women.

Womankind is prepared and willing to help any non-profit women's center secure funding to bring this program to your site, from funders in your own community.

For more information, please e-mail us at info@womankindflp.org.

Participating non-profit organizations agree to abide by FLP guidelines:

• no woman will ever be turned away due to her inability to pay
• speakers must adhere to a strict "no selling" policy, and
• the organizers will actively seek to create collaborations within their community to develop, fund, present, and evaluate the Project.

Leaders Training participants say:

"The FLP Training gave me the confidence to immediately initiate a class in our area. The graduates of that first class raved about the value of their experience."

"I endorse this program wholeheartedly and hope that women in other communities will benefit from this terrific project."

"We are pleased to be offering the FLP at our Center, and increasing the number of women who are becoming financially competent."

"For our clients who are making the transition from welfare to work, Financial Literacy is the key to self-sufficiency."

"A vital aspect of women's empowerment is becoming at ease and fluent with the language of money,"
