Colorado County Habitat for Humanity is presenting four free financial classes in partnership with local banks and businesses. The classes will be in February and March covering basic financial topics like money values and influences to spending and savings plans to credit reports and scores and building financial futures. Everyone is welcome to attend.
“We are glad to be a part of this financial education program for adults in our community,” Rachel Kozel of Industry State Bank said, “At the high school level, we help teach financial programs and it’s rewarding to see the kids learn about money.”
Habitat for Humanity requires future homeowners to complete financial education programs arranged by the local Habitat. This sets them up for success and self-reliance when they start paying their mortgages according to Colorado County Habitat for Humanity Board Vice-President Shalor Townzen, who is also President of the Columbus branch of The First National Bank of Eagle Lake.
