Free Adult Financial Education

Financial decisions can feel overwhelming, especially if you haven’t had access to the tools or guidance needed to make them confidently. That’s why Pathway’s Adult Financial Education Program exists: to provide free, practical, and flexible financial education to adults at any stage of their financial journey. Whether you’re planning for the future or working to regain control of your finances, we’ll help you move forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

Two Ways to Complete the Core Program

At the heart of our Adult Financial Education Program are four core learning modules that cover the most essential topics in personal finance: understanding your financial habits, creating a sustainable budget, managing debt, and improving credit. These workshops are designed to give you the knowledge and tools to make confident, informed decisions in your everyday life.

You can complete the core program in the way that works best for you. Many participants choose to attend our quarterly in-person or virtual workshops, which follow a set schedule and are led by financial professionals in a group setting. Others prefer to move at their own pace through our self-guided Blackboard platform, which allows you to learn on your own time from anywhere.

Whichever path you choose, you’ll still receive the same high-quality content, personalized support through one-on-one coaching, and access to additional workshops and resources. We’re here to make sure you have the flexibility to learn in the way that fits your goals, your schedule, and your life.

Community Workshops That Go Beyond the Basics

In addition to the core program, we offer expert-led financial workshops throughout the year that explore real-world topics based on community needs and interests. These may include sessions on homeownership, estate planning, student loans, financial planning for parents, identity protection, insurance, or navigating taxes. 

Our Upcoming Free Adult Workshops

Personalized One-on-One Support

At Pathway, we believe personal finance is exactly that — personal. That’s why one-on-one coaching is a core part of our program. These sessions are available to everyone, whether you’re enrolled in the full program, attending a workshop, or simply looking for guidance on a specific financial challenge.

Each session is led by a dedicated financial advisor who takes the time to understand your unique situation, goals, and concerns. You might use this time to review your credit report, set up a monthly budget, create a debt payoff plan, or talk through a big life change like a job transition, starting a family, or preparing for retirement. The focus is entirely on you.

Let’s Build a More Financially Empowered Community

We’re committed to making financial education accessible, practical, and empowering for everyone. Whether you’re joining us for a workshop, completing the core program, or meeting one-on-one with a coach, we’re here to help you take the next right step toward financial confidence.

We also believe that change happens not just at the individual level, but across communities. That’s why we partner with local organizations, churches, schools, and employers to deliver financial workshops where they’re needed most.
