PHEBE – Program Virtual Financial Stability & Life Planning Support
PHEBE (Persistence, Hope, and Endurance in Overcoming Barriers to Equity) is a virtual, session-based program designed to support women as they navigate life transitions and work toward long-term financial stability.
Named in honor of a longtime WRC volunteer, PHEBE creates an engaging and accessible space for women to learn, reflect, and build momentum—without barriers to participation. Through interactive virtual sessions, participants explore financial planning, career and income growth, leadership development, and the structural barriers that impact economic stability.
PHEBE is designed to meet women where they are, offering practical tools, shared learning, and encouragement to support sustainable progress. For those seeking additional support, one-on-one financial coaching is available through WRC’s Financial Stability program at no additional cost to the client.
At its core, PHEBE focuses on strengthening financial knowledge and supporting women in taking intentional, incremental steps that lead to long-term stability and growth. Our goal is to help women move forward with clarity and confidence—without disruption to their ability to care for themselves and their families.
PHEBE welcomes women at all stages who are curious about their long-term goals and interested in building financial stability for themselves and their families. WRC uses the Self Sufficiency Standard as a guide for financial stability.

Financial Coaching
You will meet with a volunteer financial coach to discuss and outline your financial goals and how to achieve them. Such goals can include budgeting, improving credit, or working towards building savings. Together, with your coach, you will determine progress toward your financial goal(s) and how often coaching is needed.
The purpose of financial coaching is to empower and change your relationship with finances. WRC volunteers will help support and guide you in building habits, setting goals, and taking steps toward your goals. Financial coaching sessions are structured to empower you to find your own solutions and have an accountability partner. WRC trains volunteers in the “Co-Active Coaching” method to assist you through curiosity, non-judgment, and forward thinking.
As a participant in financial coaching, you are driving the conversation and the process. WRC does not provide cash assistance, financial literacy courses, financial or legal advice. If you are interested in signing up for financial coaching please complete the intake form below.
