[Joanna Donohoe]

Oweesta and the Department of the Treasury's Community Development
Financial Institution (CDFI) Fund are pleased to offer Expanding Native
Opportunity: Native Financial Skills Initiative, comprehensive financial
education training for Native communities.  This initiative offers a
three-day instructor training and certification program to help Native
CDFIs, tribes and other Native organizations establish and sustain
financial education programs in their communities. 

 

The next training will be co-hosted by the Northwest Indian College
(NWIC) on August 26-28, 2008 in Bellingham, WA at the NWIC Lummi campus.
Applications will be accepted until all slots are filled.  

 

Each session will be open to Native CDFIs, tribes and other Native
organizations and will address: 

 

*	An introduction to the Building Native Communities: Financial
Skills for Families curriculum;
*	Effective training techniques and resources; and
*	Financial education program development planning. 

 

Upon completion of the training, participants will be prepared to
successfully pass the Building Native Communities certification exam to
become certified financial education trainers.  

 

There will not be a cost to attend the training; however participants
are responsible for their own travel costs.  Applicants must agree to
send at least two and up to four participants.
