Financial education services are coming to the Hispanic community in Brooklyn by Qualitas of Life Foundation in collaboration with the Brooklyn Cooperative.

New York, NY, February 19th, 2018

We are excited to announce our collaboration with the Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union (Brooklyn Coop) to bring more financial education services, outreach and resources to the Hispanic community in Brooklyn.

With this partnership, Qualitas of Life will serve Hispanic families from neighborhoods such as Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg, East Williamsburg, Flatbush, Clinton Hill, Sunset Park, Flatbush, Cobble Hill and Cypress Hill. Through our workshops and Key Advice Sessions of 15-20 minutes (KAS), the Hispanic community members in these areas will learn to use available resources in order to improve their personal finances and provide more opportunities for their families. Our workshops and KAS are for free, in Spanish and tailored to the Hispanic community cultural aspects and financial needs.

You can find in this link the calendar for workshops and KAS that will take place in March in community organizations, churches and groups in Brooklyn. If you belong to a community group, school, church, organization located in Brooklyn and you want to host a workshop or KAS of Qualitas of Life, please let us know at education@qualitasoflife.org.

  • Next workshop – March 23 | 3:30 to 5:30 PM at Recess Gallery Project in Clinton Hill (46 Washington Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11205).

More workshops and KAS are in the planning from April to October, we will keep you posted about these activities!
