San Marcos Public Library

The San Marcos Public Library in Texas will help workers build financial stability and strengthen their connection to employment opportunities. Through accredited financial counseling, workshops, and partnerships with the public workforce system, the program will support American workers in developing budgeting, credit, and savings skills while connecting them to employers, apprenticeship programs, and skills training resources. By integrating financial empowerment with workforce development services, the project will help residents achieve greater economic stability and long-term success in the workforce. The intended project results include measurable increases in participant financial knowledge, improved budgeting and savings behaviors, strengthened credit profiles, reduced high-interest debt reliance, and the development of a sustainable, volunteer-supported financial literacy model.
