Catholic Charities of North Louisiana’s financial education program, Money School, offers low-income individuals a free opportunity to learn skills that will help them better manage their income. 

The Money $chool ® curriculum teaches participants tips on energy conservation to cut utility costs, how to budget and prepare meals at home, as well as the importance of having savings. During a one-on-one financial coaching session, the case worker and the client explore ways to cut monthly expenses, taking a critical look at spending habits, prioritizing bills every month, how to pay off debt, and creating a plan for a stable financial future. 

Our goal is to offer temporary assistance and guide our clients to a healthier and happier financial path. CCNLA also offers financial empowerment coaching to support and encourage each person who has completed a class to follow the plan just designed for them.
