NEW provides fundamental financial education through its NEW Money program (formerly known as the Smart Consumer program.)
 
Americans rely on financial products to help them build financial security for themselves and their families.  A significant number of Latino households, however, do not hold even basic financial assets such as checking accounts, nor do they hold high-return assets, such as stocks and business equity. Since Latinos are the largest minority group in the country, projected to make up nearly one quarter of the U.S. population by the year 2050, the savings and investment habits of Latino households have become a source of concern. Gaining financial knowledge is critical for families who want to move into the American middle class.  
 
NEW Money Workshops
The NEW Money program is a series of workshops presented in English and Spanish that offer guidance on a wide range of financial topics to improve money management.  NEW Money participants are also provided with practical tools to help track expenses, stick to a reasonable budget, read a credit report, repair bad credit, and understand credit card solicitations and loan offers.  The NEW Money program gives participants a basic financial education, preparing them to set financial goals and develop a plan for achievement.  Download the flyer to learn more about NEW Money workshops near you.
