Here's a brief history of how this training came to be:

In the summer of 2013 Habitat began meeting with the Community Action Center in Northfield and Healthy Community Initiatives Dollars and $ense program. We agreed that Financial Literacy was a gap in our program areas throughout Rice County.
In August of 2013 we held a Financial Literacy Summit. Over 55 people attended this summit.
Out of that summit we developed a group of people who wanted to lead the effort. This group is named Money Matters in Rice County.
This group has developed a model that we want to implement in Rice County.
We have networked with numerous non-profits, banks, businesses and employers. You can see the list HERE.
Our next step is to equip 40 people through the Train the Trainer event with the Four Cornerstones of Financial Literacy.
We are also seeking grants to help fund the effort of equipping our community to take control of their financial lives.

Want to be a part of this effort? Contact Dayna Norvold, 507-323-5167 or e-mail: hfhricecounty@gmail.com

This training is meant for:

social services providers
banks and financial planners
anyone who wants to empower people to take control of their financial lives.

When we're trained to empower people in their financial lives we equip them to move forward in a self-sustaining way.
