Could you or a friend use some extra money, training or guidance to help improve your career or life?
The County of Riverside will give you $4 for every $1 you save to start or expand a business, learn a new trade or buy a house.
The program is part of the Community Action Partnership of Riverside County and meant to give low income residents a hand at changing their lives in a positive way. The catch? You are required to complete a series of workshops to help you prepare for that business, job or financial undertaking that you are contemplating. How easy is that? Maximum family income to be part of this program ranges from $22,980 to $79,260 and is based on family size.
