Atlanta
In an effort to address the significant income inequality facing the city, the Atlanta BeltLine and Bank of America have partnered to launch a series of Financial Wellness Workshops. The initiative comes during National Financial Planning Month in October and aims to empower residents with essential financial knowledge and skills.
Amid an environment where disparities in median household income are glaring, the Atlanta BeltLine is expanding its community empowerment programs beyond its infrastructure projects, such as trails, parks, and housing. The new workshops are designed to tackle the connection between financial wellness and community stability.
The upcoming workshops will provide participants with tools for effective resource management and ensure their long-term financial security. These sessions form part of a broader strategy to fight income inequality and promote economic stability across Atlanta neighborhoods. The community initiative also includes the Legacy Resident Retention Program, which offers property tax relief to help homeowners maintain their residences, thus fostering generational wealth and community cohesion.
Workshop Details
The workshop series titled “Healthy Money, Healthy Mind” will focus on critical aspects of financial planning. The first session, “Time Management & Prioritization”, is scheduled for October 8. This workshop aims to assist participants in effectively balancing work and personal life while pursuing their long-term financial goals. It will teach strategies designed to prioritize tasks and mitigate feelings of overwhelm.
A follow-up workshop, “Thriving Mind”, is slated for November 4. This session will delve into the psychological aspects of financial planning, emphasizing stress management and decision-making skills. Participants will have the opportunity to identify their financial stress triggers and develop healthier coping strategies.
Access to Workshops
Both workshops will take place at Pittsburgh Yards, located adjacent to the Atlanta Beltline Southside Trail. Importantly, these workshops are offered free of charge, courtesy of Bank of America’s support, eliminating potential financial barriers to education. The program targets individuals and families at any stage of financial learning, from those just beginning to those refining their skills.
The overarching goal of the program is to strengthen neighborhoods by equipping residents with effective financial management tools and enhancing their resilience against financial stress. As a vital part of the community, the Atlanta Beltline Partnership generates critical funding and delivers comprehensive programs to empower residents living near the Beltline.
Community members interested in participating in the workshops are encouraged to register early, as space is limited.
