About the Series
Through educational programs, including online trainings and other activities, the Citi Education Series on Family Economic Security at the National Women's Law Center provides critical economic security information to advocates and service providers who work directly with women and families in their communities.
Millions of women and families are poor in this country, and many additional families are on the precipice of poverty. Even middle-class families are struggling to make ends meet, and are too far from turning their dreams of buying their own homes, paying for college, and saving for retirement into reality.
Education is one proven strategy for enhancing employment opportunities and raising incomes. Another key element to family economic security is child care assistance — enabling women to work knowing that their children are in a safe, educational environment and providing children with the benefits of early childhood education. In addition, family tax credit programs, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Dependent Care Tax Credit, can help women and their families make ends meet.
This Series builds on the work of the National Women's Law Center by providing expert information and resources to advocates and service providers. To get involved, register for a training session or download resources today.
