Our Purpose

We are a confidential and free service for you as part of Per Scholas’s comprehensive offerings. LST works with Learners to provide personalized 1:1 support to manage life challenges, guidance and support, resources, and tools, and help build the skills and confidence to achieve your personal and financial goals. In addition, LST offers workshops, tools, and videos that overview the strategies and skills to manage stressors and strengthen your understanding of your finances. LST is here to support our Learners.
