BRATTLEBORO -- Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA) is inviting participants to register for its upcoming workshop series, “Your Money, Your Goals,” to be held in Brattleboro starting April 4. This 7-part workshop series will help participants improve their relationship with money, develop strong financial habits, and take steps toward prosperity. Topics covered include: saving, spending, credit, home buying, insurance, purchasing a car, and saving for college.
