The Community Mentorship program requires participating organizations to attend a two-day workshop training to prepare them to evaluate the need and opportunity for providing financial literacy programs in their community and then supports the organization in conducting that program.

The Community Mentorship program lasts approximately 6-8 months depending on the timeline of the organization's proposed financial literacy project.
