Women's Money Matters Inc provides Financial Counseling for women and girls living on low incomes. WMM provides advice and guidance for people who need assistance in obtaining credit, correcting information in their credit records, reducing their debt burden or managing their financial resources more effectively.
Life Launch is designed for girls and young women ages 8-22. The curriculum includes exploration of the costs of education options, resume writing, and negotiation skills in addition to financial education.
Financial Futures is our core Financial Wellness program for women who join through our social service agency partnerships or join individually. In this program participants set financial goals, learn to track expenses, and create a budget. Workshops include experiential learning activities, trust-building exercises, success celebrations, and coach-participant one-to-one sessions.
You do not have to be a financial expert to help.
Volunteers are core to our work at Women’s Money Matters. Our participants know that our coaches and presenters are not showing up to support them because they are being paid to do so – they are doing it because they genuinely care.
Our fully-remote programs offer a range of volunteer opportunities and ways to help out from anywhere you are. We also have some limited in-person volunteering opportunities!
All you need is the desire to help another woman in your community make the most of the money she has.
We believe diversity in identity and perspective enriches our programs and helps us better serve our clients. We strongly encourage people of color, LGBTQ-identifying individuals, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups to apply to become a coach.
"The program allows me to empower women while also cultivating my own skills. I am a better coach, friend, and woman because of the journey I take alongside other vulnerable women. I’m reminded to be empathetic and understanding as participants sometimes struggle to stay engaged because of more pressing issues they may be experiencing. " - Cortney, WMM Coach
“I was on the journey with my mentee step by step. I really enjoyed getting to know her as a person and her personal and financial goals. It was a very fulfilling experience knowing we were on the journey together and helped her get to her goal of making a budget. I built a connection with Sofie by relating to her on my own journey and finding commonalities. My greatest success was building a bond with someone I would have never met. I think we will be friends for a long time.” -Justyna
