Getting Ahead
Due to developments of the novel COVID-19 and social distancing regulations, all Getting Ahead workshops are postponed indefinitely. In the interim, if you are interested in meeting with a Financial Coach remotely and live or work in NYC, please see our NYC Financial Empowerment Center program page for more details.
Getting Ahead is the longest-running application of our signature financial empowerment model. In this program, we partner with community organizations throughout New York City to provide multi-week financial workshops led by our expert Financial Coaches. These workshops are complemented by one-on-one coaching sessions during and after the workshops. Workshop participants also have access to building-block financial products with most fees covered for one year—our Gateway Banking package.
Sign up for a Getting Ahead course today! Classes meet once a week on the same day of the week and last two hours. We have courses in both English and Spanish. Graduates of our financial workshops receive an individualized Financial Action Plan, free credit report and score, access to our Gateway Banking Package at participating Federal Credit Unions, and more!
REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY given space limitations. The current schedule of available courses is listed below—please call or email the contact for more details and to register for courses.
