Building a Financially WISER Future for Women

Posted on 09/17/24

AARP Florida is committed to building a financially WISER future for women!

We've partnered with the Women's Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER) to bring a series of interactive workshops to women and family caregivers of all ages and backgrounds in the Jacksonville and Orlando communities.

This series will explore the unique, long-term financial needs and challenges that women and caregivers are likely to face as they age. We want to empower women and family caregivers to build a bright and secure future for themselves by providing easy-to-understand information and resources on often difficult financial issues like savings, investments, Social Security, pensions, retirement planning, divorce, widowhood, and more.

In-person and virtual workshop information can be found below. We hope to see you there!
