Promoting Pathways to Financial Stability: A Resource Handbook on Building Financial Capabilities of Community College Students was designed for community college personnel, potential partners, and supporters with an interest in empowering students to better manage their financial lives. The Handbook may be useful as a resource for informing strategies and efforts intended to improve the overall financial stability of community college students, many of whom are first-generation college attendees from low- and moderate-income backgrounds.
