One that I am familiar with is Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace
University". They have a training course to teach people how to
get out of debt and build wealth for the future. It is being
tought at churches and on military bases across the US. You can
buy the course materials, or the teacher's guide. Check it out
at his web site and see if that is something that might interest you.

Folks,

I'm trying to gather some information on a career idea that came to
me recently. I've got some decent financial skills and I'm constantly
running into people who seem to make really poor decisions, especially
people who can't afford to. I'm wondering if their are organisations
out there that operate as non-profits and offer cheap or even free
financial advice to people? At the same time, what is involved in
becoming a financial advisor? Are there certifications? How much
experience is generally required before you can go out on your own
[ie, if there aren't any orgs out there, why don't I start one?]?
Most importantly, what would be your source of revenue if you want to
remain completely independent? Are there government grants out there
for such a thing? Any thoughts on the subject greatly appreciated.

Bill
