Making Change Now: Money Smart Week
We are excited to announce that Bradley Angle is partnering with Innovative Changes to sponsor a full day of Money Smart Week! Money Smart Week is a series of free classes and activities happening all over the country that are designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. And we’re hosting an entire day of workshops, right here in Portland!
Why did Bradley Angle want to be a part of Money Smart Week? Every day, we hear stories from participants who have had their finances controlled by an intimate partner. We see survivors who have not only had no access to information about their financial state, but who have been kept intentionally in vulnerable financial positions. It is with these stories in mind that we’ve designed each workshop, each of which aim to provide tools for financial self-sufficiency while connecting survivors with others who are experiencing similar situations.
