Momentum Financial Literacy Curriculum and Facilitator Training (St. Paul)

Pat Halewich (Community Learning Network)

Location: Portage College, St. Paul

Region(s): East Central

Registration for this training is now closed.

This 2-day training is designed to empower your agency to provide money management education for people living on low-incomes and often facing other barriers. Momentum's training is grounded in the sustainable livelihoods model which is a strengths-based approach to poverty reduction.

Momentum’s curriculum contains five core modules and accompanying facilitators’ guides: Budgeting, Assets, Banking, Credit/Debt Management and Consumerism. The training also covers facilitation skills, adult learning principles and best practices. A big part of what makes our curriculum unique is that we use a strengths-based, asset building approach. This approach is grounded in the Sustainable Livelihoods Model. In a nutshell, this model focuses on what people have rather than what they lack and works on strengthening those areas. It is a user-friendly, high-quality curriculum that has been developed based on nearly 20 years of experience working with vulnerable populations.

Fee: $175.00 / person for CALP, First Nations College or CCI Staff

Note: CLN has purchased licenses for Momentum’s Financial Literacy curriculum and materials that will cover CALPs in each Region, so the only cost to your CALP is the fee for the Face-to-face training.

Registration includes: Financial Literacy binder that includes the five participant modules; five corresponding facilitators’ guides; adult learning principles, facilitator tips and more! You will also receive a USB stick with participant modules and copies of all handouts used throughout the training. Everyone who completes the training receives a Certificate of Completion.

Lunch  and snacks will be provided.

Deadline to register is Tuesday, February 21st. A Minimum of 8 participants is required to run this training.
