Britepaths’ Financial Empowerment Program and our work at the Financial Empowerment Center at South County (FECSoCo) are possible because of the dedication of our volunteers! Volunteer positions include: Financial Coaches and Mentors, Financial Empowerment Workshop Instructors, and Bi-lingual Virtual Administrative Assistant.

Our Financial Coaches and Mentors provide virtual, one-on-one client services. The length of one-on-one client engagement ranges from one session to multiple sessions, to 6 months or more. Typical client meetings last 1 hour. Our workshops are offered virtually or in person at a community partner’s location within the DC metro area. The typical length of a class is 1 hour. Our Community Ambassadors represent Britepaths and our programs at community engagement events.

Britepaths provides training, support, and the tools volunteers need to help individuals and families in Northern Virginia better manage their finances and achieve and maintain self-sufficiency. We are seeking volunteers who live in the DC metro area.

Our Current Volunteer Needs Include:

  • Bi-lingual Financial Volunteers to lead personal finance workshops, offered both virtually and in person, to empower individuals with essential financial knowledge and skills. We have a high need for volunteers fluent in Spanish, Dari, Pashto, and Amharic.
  • Financial Mentors to provide virtual one-on-one financial coaching and mentorship to our clients. By sharing your expertise, you will play a crucial role in providing guidance and support for our clients to reach their financial goals. The commitment can vary based on the role you choose and your availability. Preference is for volunteer to be a Certified Financial Planner® or Accredited Financial Counselor®.
