Sharing Money Skill Strategies with Former Inmates, Here’s a Way to Measure the Success of the Program

Abstract: this workshop will walk you through teaching money strategies to former inmates in making a successful re-entry into society. Former inmates are released in a new life—often with no home, little money, and questionable credit. Finding and keeping a job, as well as managing the money they earn, is essential to successful re-entry into society. Help ex-convicts establish a solid financial foundation by using this workshop that provides basic financial planning tips,including creating a spending plan, establishing a banking relationship, and avoiding money traps.Then, facilitators, educators, and volunteers can measure the financial education program with simple,effective evaluations that make it easy to demonstrate learning and show the value of this personal finance curriculum.
