KYCC offers financial education workshops in order to help clients learn the ins and outs of credit. The Money Smart program was a four-week workshop that covered topics such as credit, budget, debt and savings. For four Thursdays at the Bresee Foundation, KYCC staff met with 20 program participants to teach financial management skills and help students build credit, maintain credit and handle credit repair.
