Pathway to Financial Stability

Pathway to Financial Stability educates participants in sound financial practices to increase income, decrease expenses, and build assets.

Operation Pathways is a national partner with America Saves Week, a program that stresses the importance of paying oneself first. Additionally, Operation Pathways partners with local financial institutions to provide financial literacy instruction and expertise for our participants.
