The Budget Buddies Vol- unteer Program will include relevant and innovative training, clear parameters, on-going information, feed- back and support so that Budget Buddies become effective and empathetic advocates for those who are struggling with financial and household management issues. Budget Buddies will meet and work with an adult family member in neutral locations across the county on an as -needed, mutually agreeable schedule. Program elements for Budget Buddies will include budgeting, creative savings, banking and credit basics as well as household manage- ment skills that focus on stretching limited resources through information, collabo- ration, practical skills -enhance- ment, collective enterprise and thrift. Budget Buddies will also connect families with relevant supports and provide timely and appropriate referrals and follow-ups. Participants in Budget Buddies will be individuals and families struggling with economic security and/or financial literacy issues that impact their ability to fully engage in community life. Individuals and families may self -refer or be referred by sister agencies. Volunteers can choose to work with one or more fami- lies and/or assist with the delivery of financial/eco- nomic skills workshops. Vol- unteers will be trained and supported, and we anticipate one family per volunteer and about 10 to 12 hours of contact over a four to six month period. We are especially seeking volunteers who have patience, empathy, an understanding of the short and long-term effects of poverty and a keen sense of social justice. Volunteer training will consist of three two-hour sessions that will be offered several times over the sum- mer months. We are aiming to have this program fully operational by September 2014. Applications are cur- rently being accepted.
