Did you know that across the United States, 35% of households where Spanish is the primary language, have no bank accounts? Language barriers, lack of credit history, and trouble with documents and identification can prevent immigrant families from reaching their financial goals.
The Family Houston La Ventanilla de Asensoria Financiera program empowers Houston’s immigrant Mexican community with free financial coaching conveniently located at the Mexican Consulate. La Ventanilla helps families with money management, reducing debt, establishing or improving credit, saving to reach financial goals, and participating in mainstream financial services.
Support Family Houston's community efforts at the Mexican Consulate by becoming a La Ventanilla Outreach Volunteer today! Our goal is to reach as many clients as possible and you’ll help us achieve that goal by sharing information from our community resource table located in the lobby of the Mexican Consulate. You’ll assist with scheduling appointments for Financial Coaching clients, listening to their needs and referring to other organizations, and following up to hear their progress. Bilingual (Spanish and English) applicants only.More opportunities with Family Houston
