Financial coaching is an emerging practice that helps clients learn to set and achieve their financial goals.

In this training, we will define financial coaching, provide financial capability content and demonstrate the benefits of using coaching in helping people to achieve financial success. This program uses the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s “Your Money, Your Goals,” a comprehensive financial empowerment toolkit created for financial coaches, caseworkers, and other human service professionals in various roles to support the integration of financial education into their one-on-one work with clients. Materials will be provided to you digitally – if you are able to print them, please do, if you are not, please request them on the registration form.
The SPRING 2023 Cohort of Financial Coaches is limited – we expect this cohort to fill, so please register for Intro to Financial Coaching early if you would like to join this program.
Participation in this training is required to become a K.E.E.P. Financial Coach.
