50/50 Leadership was founded in 2004 to promote women’s equal leadership. Women are half the population; our vision is that they be half the leaders. Money 101 is our financial literacy program for women who did not receive basic money management skills growing up. Many of them grew up in foster care, some are unhoused, formerly incarcerated, and/or survivors of gender-based violence. Although this is a very basic course, a solid understanding of personal finance and money management are needed. This includes knowing the difference between banks and credit unions; budgeting and goal setting; how to save; the ins and outs of credit - when to use it, and how to clean it up. We particularly appreciate if you have a story of coming through adversity to success. What is not basic about this course is that these women have lived through much trauma and present their own challenges so a great deal of compassion is needed. If you can adapt on your feet, be 100% non-judgmental, and truly open to wanting to give these women the skills and knowledge for them to build a financial foundation for their lives, this will be a very rich and rewarding opportunity for you. The workshops are on zoom, there is ample training and you are always partnered with another facilitator. We are looking for compassionate and dynamic folks that can impart wisdom and empower these participants! We are a vibrant team of volunteers! Come join us. Please email volunteers@5050leadership.org with your bio and a little about your background and why you are drawn to this opportunity. 50/50 Leadership is a volunteer-led organization. So come join this vibrant group of professionals, make a difference and have some fun.

Virtual Opportunity
Women who grew up in foster care rarely have anyone they can turn to for support and guidance. Many navigate the world without the skills, knowledge, or guidance that most of us received growing up at home. The adversities our population has faced vary from being unhoused, incarcerated, and/or survivors of gender-based violence. For some, their adversity has made them stronger. 50/50 Leadership offers a series of financial literacy workshops called Money 101 that provide a basic set of financial skills for managing money. Upon completion of Money 101, we offer our members the opportunity to enroll in a 9-month mentorship relationship to help further their ability to stay on track and to reach their desired goals. You do not need to be a financial expert - while mentees may be looking for accountability in budgeting, if you have had some success managing your own finances over time, we encourage you to apply. We ask that our mentors are at least 30 years old. We will provide training and resources for our mentors. Mentors are expected to complete an activity log after each session with a mentee. The time commitment is no more than 2 hours per month, and one 90-minute training session annually. This is your opportunity to make a very real difference in a woman’s life. This is an opportunity to listen compassionately, offer guidance and cheer them on. You will be an accountability partner to a woman who needs your support. If you are interested and qualify, please email us at volunteers@5050leadership.org and we will send you an application and set up a time to answer your questions and fill you in with all the details.
