What is Financial Mentoring?

Financial mentoring is personalized, one-on-one guidance, where an experienced mentor helps individuals develop financial knowledge, skills, and habits. The goal is to empower people to take control of their finances by providing education on topics like budgeting, saving, managing credit, and setting financial goals.

Our BIPOC financial mentor meets people where they are and offers practical advice, emotional support, and encouragement, tailored to the individual’s needs, helping them make informed decisions about money, avoid financial pitfalls, and build long-term financial stability. MyMoney Moves is more than just mentoring—it’s a pathway to wealth-building and financial independence for young adults!
