Through training and workshops provided by LIFT and our trusted partners, parents become financially savvy, learn how to find and secure well-paying jobs, and pursue an education that opens doors to greater economic advancementįorty percent of Americans do not have $400 to cover an emergency.
Parents work directly with a LIFT coach to create a personalized plan that accounts for the time and expenses required to raise a family while taking personal steps toward a degree or higher-paying job. LIFT’s financial, educational, and employment coaching model helps parents increase income, decrease debt, and build savings. Parents stuck in low-wage jobs come to us to chart a better way forward.
