Dear Colleague,

Last year, in conjunction with the National Endowment for Financial
Education and the Bank of America, Women Work! developed a financial
literacy curriculum to meet the unique needs faced by women in transition,
called Making Money Work!. This free curriculum can be accessed online at
http://www.womenwork.org/mmw/index.html.

This year, Women Work! has been awarded a grant from JPMorgan Chase
Foundation to fund an initiative that expands our current financial literacy
efforts. Titled Demystifying Banks, the goal of the project is to help
service providers offer effective financial literacy classes to women in
transition, thereby improving their chances of economic stability.
Demystifying Banks is being offered as a member-only resource.

This fall WW! will conduct the Demystifying Banks course by teleconference
to programs across the country that are seeking to or are currently
implementing the Making Money Work! curriculum. Course topics will include
how to implement a financial literacy program, how to create effective
partnerships, and what employment opportunities are available in banking and
financial institutions.

Please share this opportunity with your members and networks. For more
information, visit http://www.womenwork.org/projects/training.htm, or
contact Erin Currier at 202-467-6346 or ecurrier@womenwork.org.
