Consumer Empowerment Workshops
| |
Georgia Watch is excited to launch our Consumer Empowerment Workshops that seek to inform and enable consumers to protect their financial interests. Especially designed to help vulnerable populations, such as low- and - moderate income individuals and seniors, these one-hour classes on a series of topics will help participants to enhance their financial proficiency. In partnership with CredAbility, an Atlanta-based non-profit credit counseling and education organization, we are able to leverage our resources and carry out our goal to educate thousands of individuals about financial stability, asset building and avoiding scams. We are offering classes on seven different topics, including the importance of bank accounts, credit ratings, and advocacy, just to name a few. We are slated to begin our Consumer Empowerment Workshops at the Butler Park Recreation Center in Atlanta and we look forward to scheduling workshops at Friendship Baptist Church and the Fulton Atlanta Community Action Agency (FACAA) in the near future.
Here is a list of the workshops we offer. If you would like to schedule a workshop, please contact Karla Johnson at 404-525-1085 or email kjohnson@georgiawatch.org.
