Interested in hosting a YNAB class? The basic outline below will explain what our class is about and how it can benefit the people in your organization. Press play on the video below for a short humorous look at a serious issue.

The workshop that we can bring to your organization - and thus to the people that you serve - is fun and easy to understand and will give them the tools that they need to get ahead and stay ahead.
