Free Financial Coaching Provided by TrustPlus and Neighborhood Trust
Enrolled participants can participate in financial coaching for free, just for being a part of the PerkUp CAFE program! Getting started is simple - just choose your coach & schedule your first session. You can also view your credit report and score, work on your budget, and share what may be stressing you about your finances. Then your coach will work with you to create a customized action plan tied to your goals. No goal is too big or small to consider. And no two action plans are the same because no two people are the same.
