FINANCIAL EDUCATION

LSS Financial Counseling Service promotes financial literacy. We believe that financial education creates choice and the opportunity to build a financial future.

We provide workshops for all age groups, tailored to the needs of your group. We can deliver these programs to community groups, classrooms, churches, employers, and can also offer "train-the-trainer" for agencies.

We offer financial education three ways:

Financial Literacy Classes

Train-the-Trainer
