Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or guardian, you want to see the kids you love chase big dreams and build a bright future. Whether it’s college, trade school, or another path, education opens doors—and planning for it now gives them more options later.

A 529 plan is one of the most effective ways to save for education, and this workshop will show you how to make it work for your family.

You don’t need to be a financial expert. You just need to start. We’ll walk you through how 529 plans work, how to open one, and how this simple step can help secure your child’s future.

What You’ll Learn:

✅ What a 529 plan is and how it works
✅ The tax advantages and flexibility you may not know about
✅ Who can contribute, who can use it, and what it can actually pay for
✅ What happens if your child doesn’t go to college
✅ How to start or manage a 529 plan with confidence
