Position Summary:

Financial Opportunity Centers (FOCs) are community-based centers that focus on the financial bottom line for low-to-moderate income individuals.

These core services are integrated together and provided to clients in a bundled fashion in order to reinforce one another and to provide a multi-faceted approach to family stability, income and wealth building. The Financial Empowerment Coach is responsible for providing direct coaching services to clients of the financial opportunity center, utilizing strong interpersonal and communication skills to deliver financial coaching, and to assist clients with short-term housing and financial needs while working to support the development of financial skills and behaviors necessary to become self-sufficient and well-versed in the long-term management of their economic resources.
