Rebuild Program
Rebuild is an on ongoing workshop series. In the fall we host a 6-week program that focuses on financial management. Local families participate in a class to learn the basics of finance, including budgeting, debt management, saving, and insurance. Families also work with the Director and a Social Work student to address other needs.
In the spring we host a variety of other workshops depending on community need and interest. These can include topics like budget cooking, healthy relationships, tenant rights, and household repairs. All workshops are free to attend and offer free childcare.
