Financial Empowerment for All:
How Do We Make True Progress?
Financial empowerment for all of our community, especially low- to middle-income families struggling to gain a foothold, is a big challenge in today’s society. A lack of knowledge, training and tools for financial management and planning can impact stability and wellness for members of our community, including teenagers, working families and older adults.
On June 6, 2018, Peninsula Family Service will present the second event in its Thought Leader Series, a dynamic and interactive gathering with the goal of raising awareness of financial empowerment and increasing financial knowledge to all in San Mateo County.
