Financial Freedom Series Workshop

The Financial Freedom Series offers practical financial education using the Building Native Communities curriculum, developed by Native experts for Native communities. The series covers foundational topics such as budgeting, credit, saving, managing debt, and setting financial goals.

Through approachable conversations and real life examples, participants gain tools they can use in their everyday lives. The goal is not financial perfection. It is helping you better understand your options, feel more in control of your finances, and make decisions that support the future you want to build.

First Time Homebuyer Workshop

Our First Time Homebuyer Workshop is an eight hour Home Stretch course that walks participants through the process of moving from renting to owning.

Participants also learn about financing options and down payment assistance programs, including resources available to Native homebuyers. After completing the workshop, participants receive a Home Stretch certificate that meets the education requirement for many first time homebuyer mortgage programs.
