United Way Suncoast’s Financial Coaching Program trains volunteers and matches them with low- to moderate-income individuals who have a desire to improve their financial situation. You will work one-on-one with clients to provide resources and tools to start an action plan toward the client’s financial goals, which may include: creating a budget, eliminating debt, increasing credit awareness, establishing a plan for college or retirement, and so much more! As a coach, you will serve as an accountability partner and source of encouragement toward an ultimate goal of financial stability.
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE: We will match you with a referral from one of our partner organizations. Together, you and the client will select a day and time that works for you (usually 1-2 meetings per month).
Background in financial education and coaching techniques welcomed, but not required-we will provide training and support. You should have a basic understanding of concepts surrounding budgeting, saving, banking, and credit/debt management. Volunteer does not need to be an expert, but must be willing to acquire knowledge as needed.

Mission Statement

Description
United Way Suncoast Strategic Plan is to " Break the cycle of generational poverty through educational programs that give children the skills to succeed and help adults achieve long-term financial stability so they can support themselves and their families."
Working together with volunteers, agency partners, community leaders and key stakeholders, the plan focuses on three priority impact areas:- Early Literacy - If a child isn’t reading at grade level by 4th grade, s/he is four times more likely to drop out of school.
- Youth Success - A child who doesn’t graduate from high school earns 75% less than peers who do.
- Financial Stability - Building financial knowledge and employability skills help create more stable and secure households and communities.
In addition, we will continue funding aligned Support Services (health, food, shelter, etc) to help hard working individuals and families move past immediate crisis that may prevent them from participating in United Way programs that address their long-term needs.
