Alongside other San Diego-area women in their 20s & 30s, you'll build financial confidence, learn new skills, AND connect with new friends. Each session kicks off with a full-group light dinner, and then we split into two smaller groups – based on your chosen track* – for an interactive financial literacy workshop facilitated by experts  Emily Collyns and April Schultz (bios below) . We will be meeting at HoyleCohen in Mission Valley. These 4 sessions will build on each other & set you up for success!
