Operation Pathways: Book of Stories

Pathway to Financial Stability

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

Financial Education The financial education program seeks to enlighten residents on issues relating to their money matters, such as credit, proper insurance coverage, investments, and savings. We are a national partner with America Saves Week, a program that stresses the importance of paying oneself first. Additionally, we partner with local financial institutions to provide financial literacy instruction and expertise for our participants. Residents in this program are coached by staff and volunteers who help guide them through lessons. With this education, residents are able to build budgets and begin saving for their futures.

Workforce Development Many Operation Pathways sites are equipped with a computer lab for

community use. Technology workshops, job search help, GED support, résumé writing assistance, and interview prep are just some of the services offered by trained instructors, partnering organizations, and Operation Pathways staff.
