WASHINGTON CO., N.Y. — Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Washington County offers free One-to-One Financial Coaching to help provide residents with the resources needed to make sound financial decisions. The service is free and confidential.
“At a time when many people have had a significant change in either their income or expenses, we felt it important to re-advertise this long-standing, successful program,” said Linda Law-Saunders, one of CCE’s Family and Consumer Sciences Educators. “If you are having difficulty making your personal budget work, please don’t hesitate to reach out for confidential assistance.”
CCE Washington County is committed to being a resource to residents in need of help. Through the One-to-One Financial Coaching program, participants can receive resources to help them identify assets and liabilities, track income and expenses, determine values and set financial goals, create a household spending plan, manage credit and debt, identify ways to decrease spending, and identify options to increase income. Please note that CCE can only offer financial information, not financial advice.
Interested individuals should contact CCE by phone or email to set up an appointment. All inquiries and information exchanged is deemed confidential. Once an appointment is set, participants will receive an information packet by mail. All meetings at this time are held via teleconference or Zoom, depending on the participant’s technology capabilities. The first session is roughly an hour long and geared at gathering information. After the first session, targeted resources and a spending plan tailored to the participant can be provided. The free services can last as long as the participant chooses, however there is a two session minimum.
