FINANCIAL INITIATIVES
Grounded in the belief that regardless of background or income level, financially informed individuals are better able to take control of their circumstances, improve their quality of life, and ensure a more stable future for themselves and their families, TCIONC’s mission is to inspire educated financial decision making for individuals and families through every stage of life.
We envision a world where people make informed, thoughtful, and beneficial financial decisions that are aligned with their values so that they can enjoy better, more secure, and more satisfying lives.
FINANCIAL LITERACY INITIATIVE FOR PARENTS
The FLIP- Financial Literacy Training Workshops are designed to help Head Start parents increase their knowledge of financial literacy strategies and improve their ability to communicate with their children about financial issues.
