How can I get in touch with a Volunteer Budget Educator?
Cornell Cooperative Extension's Family Budget Education Program is a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL financial management education program. A trained volunteer will work with you or your family one-onone to help you set up and use a customized budget and credit repayment plan.
Cornell Cooperative Extension's Family Budget Education Program will help you take control of your finances by helping you to:
Call the number on the back of this flyer for the office in your county. You will need to answer a few questions over the phone (your name, address, and financial problems you are seeking help with, and a phone number). If the program suits your needs, a Volunteer Family Budget Educator will be assigned to you and will contact you to set up an appointment. Educators will be assigned based on their availability and geographic location.
