Free sessions help attendees get on the budget fast track
Interested in improving your budgeting skills or getting on track to get out of debt? The Newport News Department of Human Services Housing Broker Team and the Virginia Cooperative Extension offer free budget workshops.
The workshops are offered Wednesday mornings and evenings. The next series of workshops takes place August 2, August 9 and August 23. The morning classes run from 10:30 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. and the evening classes from 6:00 p.m. - 7:15 p.m. Participants can sign up to attend either the morning or the evening classes, whichever best fits their schedule. All classes take place at South Morrison Family Education Center, 746 Adams Drive in Newport News. Participants can earn a special toolkit and savings guide as a bonus at the end of the series by completing all three of the classes and keeping the best budget.
