Project Step Up Volunteers have the opportunity to help families by providing support and guidance towards a successful financial future. PSU Volunteers are like financial coaches. Many people think of a financial coach as someone who will walk a client step-by-step to achieve financial decision-making independence. In many sports, there are coaches who specialize in parts of training. Coaches will interact with clients during regularly scheduled events for which the coach has expertise, a particular interest or experience in.
Succesful Volunteers will:
- Receive program training
- Develop supportive relationships with their family as they learn new strategies towards a stable future
- Teach a class or skill
- Work through an activity with the group
- Attend classes with a client or client family who is struggling with a particular subject
- Lead group discussions about financial topics
- Provide resources, share knowledge and wisdom about topics they are comfortable with
- Help clients determine their goals
