Women's Money Matters is actively seeking Spanish-speaking volunteers for a virtual program starting on July 14th.

The organization is looking for dedicated volunteers fluent in Spanish to join their program and assist low-income women in Massachusetts on their journey towards financial independence. By committing just an hour and a half a week, volunteers can make a profound impact on the lives of individuals in their community.

As volunteer coaches, they will play a vital role in building the financial literacy, confidence, and security of these women. Women's Money Matters offers a unique program that combines instructional workshops and personalized one-on-one coaching, tailored to address the specific financial challenges faced by each client. The program works in collaboration with local social service agencies and financial institutions to ensure a comprehensive approach.

Financial expertise is not a requirement for becoming a coach; the most important qualities are a genuine desire to help and support others. Key responsibilities for volunteer coaches include:

Demonstrating a genuine interest in and commitment to working with low-income women
Maintaining strict confidentiality of all client financial and personal information
Committing to a 14-week duration of coaching for each participant
Participating in a coaches' orientation to familiarize themselves with the program
Maintaining one or two follow-up contacts with their clients between workshops
Participating in the monthly Coaches' Exchange to share experiences and insights
Volunteers have the opportunity to empower low-income women, helping them overcome financial challenges and achieve long-term stability. Women's Money Matters emphasizes that all coaches should be women, as per the preference of their students.

For more information and to get involved, interested individuals can contact the volunteer coordinator, Berny Lugo, at blugo@womensmoneymatters.org.
