The Financial Check-in with FAME workshop series was created to help Maine people strengthen their money-management skills and confidence, empower them to plan for education costs, reduce financial barriers, and support long-term education affordability. These sessions are held the first Friday of most months at noon and are recorded for later viewing. While these events are free, we do ask that participants register for the sessions they wish to attend.
