Nurturing Financial Wellness: A Deep Dive into the Dollars for $cholars Program

Abstract

Join the Center for Financial Wellness at UC Berkeley for an informative session on their journey of creating and enhancing the Dollars for $cholars Program. This year-long financial wellness mentorship initiative was designed to empower historically underrepresented communities. During this session, the Center for Financial Wellness will share program history and growth, discuss improvements, present data and outcomes, review effective strategies and lessons learned, and outline their roadmap for future program enhancements. If time permits, the session will conclude with a dynamic discussion on innovative ways to support traditionally underrepresented communities.
