New Directions Register now!
(1st Thursday, 1:00-2:30 pm)
A layoff, job change, or any other financial obstacle can be a challenging and stressful situation for you and your family.  There will be emotional highs and lows and sometimes it will seem like good news is far from reach.  However, you can achieve a successful new direction with careful planning, useful tools, and a positive approach.  Some topics covered in this class include reviewing finances and expenses, identifying sources of income, budgeting, saving, spending, and evaluating debt.

Job Seeker Support Register now!
(2nd and 4th Tuesdays, 9:00 am-4:00 pm)
The number one reason families are in crisis is due to job loss.  CLC is pleased to offer a class designed to assist men and women in locating and preparing for a new job.  The class includes instruction on (1) determining what you want to do, (2) creating a resume that reflects your goal, (3) effectively searching for a job, and (4) winning the interview.  One-on-one job seeker support and resume and interview help are also available by appointment for those who attend the class.  (This class is a full day with a break for lunch.)
