Financial Workshops

4C’s is committed to helping parents manage financial issues, such as preparing their taxes, buying a house, budgeting for the future, repairing credit reports, planning for retirement, and protecting themselves against identity theft. For a list of our current programs, see the online calendar.

How to Register

Preregistration is required for some workshops and highly recommended for all others. If we close or cancel a workshop, we will make every effort to notify those who are registered.

If you need any accommodations to participate fully in a 4C’s workshop, please make arrangements in advance with our Inclusion Services Coordinator at 510-584-3118.

Special Requests

• We also strive to provide a fragrance-free training environment, because some people experience unpleasant physical effects from scented products, from itchy eyes to headache and nausea to breathing difficulties or asthma attacks. Our workshops are now “fragrance free” so please do not wear perfumes or scented lotions or other products.
• Unless child care is specifically mentioned in the announcement, workshops are for adult participants only. Please leave children at home or find alternate care. If you are a breastfeeding mother, let us know when you register and we can make special arrangements.
