Budget Buddies is a non-profit organization that seeks to improve the financial literacy and independence of low-income women in Eastern Massachusetts. Our six-month program combines workshops on budgeting, banking, credit, and financial confidence with personal, one-on-one coaching. You don't need to be a financial wizard to be a coach. Just the desire to help someone make the most of the money she has. For about an hour a week, you can teach a woman in your community core skills in money management that will last a lifetime.
We're looking for coaches to staff our new programs which will be starting shortly. Per the request of program participants, all of our coaches are women. We also help need help with child care, communications, fundraising, and event planning from volunteers of either gender.
If you'd like to learn more, please come to a no-obligation volunteer Information night on Thursday, March 3rd at 6:30 in Chelmsford, MA. For directions and further information, call us at 978-703-0820 and visit us at www.budgetbuddies.org.
