Abstract

The Money Management for Women program was designed and implemented to provide lower-income women with financial planning information geared to their current level of understanding and financial circumstances. Objectives were to develop a model consumer education program and test the efficacy of community-based organizations as agents in delivering consumer education. Seven community-based organizations were selected to participate in implementing the program, and course content and materials for the program's leader-training and participant-workshop components were developed. Workshop materials--worksheets, factsheets, leader's guides/syllabus, and recruitment and evaluation materials--were developed around four major content areas: Attitudes Toward Money, Money Management, and Math; Constructing a Personal Money Management Plan; Choosing Checking and Savings Plans; and Managing Credit. During the project, staff members upgraded their career skills and acquired confidence in directing special projects. Workshop participants indicated a positive difference in their lives. Recommendations were made for workshop staffing, role of workshop leader, math segment, participant materials, program length, and topics. Appendixes, amounting to over one-half of the report, include workshop session outline, interest/needs questionnaire and responses, syllabus, and participant materials. (YLB)

Abstract

This document is the coordinator's handbook for a four-day workshop for young women in transition from high school to two-year colleges. The program covers career information, self-awareness and skills assessment (with special regard for mathematics), the many roles of women, and decision making and planning. It includes large- and small-group sessions, written exercises and problem-solving activities, and interaction with adult role models. The manual is organized into six chapters. Chapter 1 presents the rationale for the program and the workshop's goals and objectives. Chapter 2 gives the title and length of each session and summarizes the purpose and content of each day's events. Chapter 3 outlines everything coordinator and staff will do to prepare for the first day of the workshop. Chapter 4 is a step-by-step log for each day of the workshop. Chapter 5 is a review of changes in the model workshop the coordinator may wish to consider. Chapter 6 makes a case for evaluation and describes the tools and procedures that could be used to evaluate the workshop. The appendixes contain the group leader's script; samples and models of the print materials used in the workshop; a list of sources for working women panelists and for free literature; and model texts for the coordinator's opening and closing remarks for the workshop. In addition to the guidelines, scripts, and program materials contained in this document, six black-and-white 3/4" video cassettes accompany this handbook and complete the package. (For information on the cassettes, write to publisher.) (KC)
