  Meet with a group of your peers as we learn together:
  Want to make a plan to pay off student loans?
  Save for higher education expenses?
  Understand workplace benefits and new healthcare options?
  
  We help others.....but do we do for ourselves??The Network presents a peer learning circle about financial literacy.  Together, a group of human service colleagues will explore advanced money subjects and seek answers to our own personal questions about money and finance.
  
  Participants in the Circle will:
  

  • Obtain information about finances
  • Make a personal plan
  • Form a bond with peers
    
  • Explore new 'advanced' financial literacy topics
  • Learn about Debt, Savings, Retirement, and Finance

  Perspectives is a new Network initiative to provide peer support in a fun and informal way. 
  

  
  Connect with colleagues, resolve problems, and learn together! 
  

  
  Held each third week of the month from May to October, we'll gather to explore interesting ideas throughout the Denver area.  From ethnic food, to exercise, to speakers and discussions...if you're looking for a way to explore and meet colleagues in the field at the same time, join us for one evening or the series!
  
  The Network's hope is that Perspectives gatherings will offer you a chance to have new experiences and provide support for one another. RSVP here, and join us for the event--you'll recognize us by our Perspectives red & white bird stickers!
  
  

  Anyone welcome! This is a free event series!
