We’ve partnered with the experts at New Venture Maine to bring you two finance related workshops this fall. The first interactive workshop will cover money management attitudes and styles, goal setting, and practical step-by-step instructions on how to create a budget that works for your life. 

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of budgeting and financial management, and will be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to create and maintain a household budget. This will enable you to use budgeting to make informed decisions, prioritize your resources, and maximize your income.

While this series is crafted with ages 18-30 in mind, all ages are welcome to attend.  

Registration isn’t required to attend (despite what is says below), but those that register will receive email reminders about the event.

About the Series: 

Being an adult can be overwhelming. From budgeting to meal planning to seemingly endless loads of laundry, it’s hard to figure it all out–but you don’t have to do it alone. Join us twice a month for Adulting 101, where we’ll talk about finances, mending clothes, meal planning on a budget, and so much more. These workshops are designed to help you learn the skills we weren’t taught in school. While this series is crafted with ages 18-30 in mind, all ages are welcome to attend. 

Registration isn’t required to attend, but those that register will receive email reminders about the event and in some workshops, only registered participants will be guaranteed supplies to support their new skill.
