NJAR® Housing Opportunity Foundation and Partners Present Free Financial Seminar
Edison, NJ – September , 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — The New Jersey Association of REALTORS® Housing Opportunity Foundation, Inc. (NJARHOF) is proud to announce its latest endeavor to educate and empower New Jersey’s consumers. Through its Helping Hands Towards Homeownership program, NJARHOF and the Burlington Camden County Association of REALTORS® will be partnering with TD Bank and the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of the Delaware Valley to present a financial literacy workshop on October 5th and October 12th at the Willingboro Public Library. The two-part financial literacy seminar is free to the public and will take place from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. on both evenings at 220 Willingboro Parkway in Willingboro, N.J. The workshop material is non-sequential, so attendance at both seminars is encouraged but not required.
The curriculum will cover various areas of financial education such as borrowing basics, how to manage credit, loans, and goal-setting. The workshop is designed to help those with limited financial knowledge to learn valuable information and achieve independence in today’s marketplace.
“With increasing options for personal finance in today’s environment, there are also increases in risk,” said NJARHOF President Christina P. Clemans. “The foundation of this educational series is to focus on helping individuals get their own ‘financial houses’ in order so that one day they can become homeowners.”
Throughout the summer and fall, NJARHOF will be scheduling future seminars on financial literacy in various locations throughout the state. To register for this seminar or for more information on future NJARHOF programs, contact Melissa Decker at MDecker (at) njar (dot) com.
