Innovative Changes is a local non-profit helping Portland-area folks manage short-term financial needs to achieve household stability by offering financial workshops, responsible loans, and credit-building opportunities.

This month Innovative Changes is offering a series of four Financial Household Stability Group Workshops. On July 10, 'Making End Meet' helped participants take stock of their values and priorities and offered tools and strategies for bringing immediate results.

This Saturday, 'Budgeting and Savings' will provide tools to bring budgeting and saving within reach. The following two weekends offer 'Hands-on Banking' and 'Building, Repairing, and Protecting Credit.'

Registration is required for these outstanding workshops - call Carmina at (503) 943-5645 or email carmina@innovativechanges.org for a spot.
