Thursday, April 23rd, 2015 at 1:30pm @North Education Room 273: Abundance on a Stipend: How to Manage Money as a Full Time Volunteer

One of the biggest challenges in preparing to volunteer for a year of service is managing your money. In this workshop we will explore your beliefs around money and success, hear from people who have volunteered for years on limited stipends, and explore the creative ways people get by on a lower income. We will discuss resources available to you both while you serve and upon service completion.
