Understanding how to use financial tools like checking and savings accounts helps people build financial security. 

But it’s not something every family or school teaches. Accessing financial education through coaching and/or workshops helps people save, pay bills safely, access loans, and increase resiliency in times of financial crisis.

United Way works with financial institutions and community partners to make financial education, coaching, and related services more accessible to people who need them.
