Norm's Blog: Day Four Part Two - Earn San Francisco. |
| 23 September 2011 |
 It was great to finish up the official part of the study tour at Earn who have their offices in the Financial District of the city’s CBD, and to meet back up with Ben Mangan (pictured) who’s inspirational work was in many ways the beginning of this whole journey.From their website: “EARN's ultimate vision is that millions of well-informed, low-wage American families will achieve financial success through proven strategies, fair public policy, and their own hard work.” It was great to be able to tour the offices and training facilities at EARN and see the way that that vision is being worked towards, in a tangible and thoughtful way. The placement of the EARN office in the financial district is a deliberate positioning and reflects the aims and actions of this dynamic organisation. In my meeting with Ben I was able to see the space EARN uses for Financial Coaching, an idea we are trialling as a mentoring phase in our Citi funded Financial Education program in western Sydney, based out of the Campbelltown Community Hub. It was great to get a more intimate insight into how that program is run at EARN. EARN also has a very informative website with some great success stories. These are a few of my favourites:   |
