In an effort to meet more needs of our clients and community, OPD partnered with Flyte Coaching for a financial literacy workshop series highlighting everything from basic banking and budgeting to managing court fees, job access, housing access and tenants’ rights and planning for retirement.
Beginning Wednesday, September 4, the workshops will be held each Wednesday for 10 weeks at the Rosa F. Keller Library at 4300 S. Broad Avenue. There will be morning and evening sessions. The workshops are free and open to the public.
The workshops are designed for the general community, but especially those just entering the workforce and those returning from incarceration. Professional financial advisors and coaches will lead each session designed to educate and empower individuals, families, businesses, throughout the city.
Additionally, participation in the program will be an accepted community service option by the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court judges.
