Community Financial Literacy is a leading organization in financial education for Maine refugees and new immigrants. This is the only organization working in Lewiston and Greater Portland to improve their financial lives.

Please read these compelling testimonials from some of our clients who came to us for financial literacy help.

     “The Community Financial Literacy helped a lot. I learned new concepts which will allow me to start my life here in the USA in terms of saving.” 2011 Student

     “I really enjoyed your class back in December on Financial Literacy. I last heard that you may be giving a different class in March; if this is free to attend, would give me an e-mail to when. I would like very much to attend another class. I learned so much in the other, and you were a great teacher. Thank you so very much.” 2010 Student

     “I am 49 years old and I have been in USA for 9 years, this seminar will change my life and it will help me on how to save and care about my credit score with my entire family, my wife and my 6 children. I strongly recommend all new immigrants and refugees to attend this useful class. We need more classes to help needy families.” Mohamad

     “I benefited a great deal from your class and I know anyone who attends your class is bound to change his or her spending spree. Your class is a wakeup call for many of us and we all needed it and I for one appreciated your help. Thanks again Brother! I have saved about $2,000 within 4 months since I took your class.” Savings to Build Wealth Student
