Financial Education

Free financial education classes are open to all residents of Washington County.  Classes are taught by an instructor from Innovative Changes, Inc., an organization that was founded to help individuals and families manage short-term financial needs in order to achieve and maintain household stability.

This specially trained instructor offers information about banking and financial tools that help families build skills to reduce financial stress, create a manageable budget, increase savings, and reduce debt.
