A free financial literacy series will be offered during the day in Blaine starting mid-April.
The Community Assistance Program (CAP) will sponsor five classes through The Whatcom Dream 12-1 p.m. every Monday from April 10 to May 8. The classes will be located at the CAP Center, 508 G Street in Blaine.
The Whatcom Dream is a Bellingham-based nonprofit that offers education to help people understand financial systems and improve their money management skills. The series will cover psychology of money, living on a budget, how to avoid and manage debt, credit scores and history, becoming and staying financially stable and retirement planning.
“We’re not trying to sell anything,” said The Whatcom Dream program manager Kevin Stray. “We just do this as a community service.”
The Whatcom Dream has offered classes in Blaine over the past few years, but this will be the first offered during the day, Stray said.
Anyone over 18 is welcome to attend. The Whatcom Dream also offers teen financial empowerment classes.
Childcare is not provided during the classes. People who complete the series become eligible for two free individual financial mentoring classes with Stray.
For more information and to register, call Kevin Stray at 360/296-0441, kevin@thewhatcomdream.org or by visiting thewhatcomdream.org.
