EAST POINT, GA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 6, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The City of East Point proudly announces the launch of the “Empowered by Getting Ahead” program, a comprehensive six-month pilot initiative to advance economic mobility and financial independence for East Point families. The program is a robust initiative supported by the City of East Point in partnership with the African American Mayors Association (AAMA), the National Center for Family Learning (NCFL), the Technical College System of Georgia, and Atlanta Fulton Family Connection. It will officially kick off with a Launch Luncheon on Thursday, November 7, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the City Annex Building at 3121 Norman Berry Drive, East Point, GA 30344.

With leadership support from Mayor Holiday Ingraham and the City’s Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Empowerment, the Empowerment Program will provide 25 selected families with essential resources and coaching to foster financial stability and economic resilience, including courses in the following topics: Money Management and Budgeting, Wealth Building, Student Loan Education, Health & Wellness, Homeownership Planning, Workforce Development, Estate Planning Workshop, Digital Literacy, Credit Education, and Civic Duty

Each module is supported by expert-led workshops, one-on-one coaching, and a community of peers, helping East Point families build the skills, confidence, and networks essential to achieving lasting economic growth.
“Empowerment through education is transformative, and we are honored to take this step toward making economic mobility achievable for more of our families,” said Yolanda Johnson, Director of the Office of Equity, Inclusion, and Empowerment. “This program isn’t just about resources; it’s about igniting a sense of possibility within families, fostering self-sufficiency, and creating a community where every resident has the tools they need to thrive.”
