One-to-one support

In one-on-one sessions, CFFP volunteers work with community members seeking personalized financial guidance. They help individuals explore options related to saving, debt repayment, and accessing benefits— focusing on education, confidence-building, and financial empowerment. Volunteers guide thoughtful decision-making by discussing strategies and weighing pros and cons, empowering people to make informed choices. Sessions can be delivered virtually or in person, offering flexible support tailored to community needs.
