Education Services
Debt Reduction Services (DRS) provides no-cost
education to our communities, clients and guests in order to assist
individuals to live debt-free and plan for a financially stable secure, and debt free future.
DRS provides this education to individuals and groups in a variety of settings to achieve goals of debt management, debt elimination and credit card help, including in-person credit counseling sessions, in-office group seminars, community-based outreach seminars within private and public organizations, companies, and programs, as well as in community schools and through email and the Internet.
The DRS Education Program aims to develop life-long proficiency in four core financial skill sets in debt and money management:
- Personal and Household Budgeting
- Preventing and Eliminating Excessive Consumer Debt
- Developing Effective Spending Habits
- Using Credit Wisely
Subjects and content of all DRS educational presentations, seminars, workshops and materials focus on one or more of these four debt and money management skill sets.
Trained financial educators and certified personal finance counselors in each of our offices offer a free 60-minute workshop every week on one of the four core financial skill sets listed above. Contact your local office for days and times
