Looking to better your life and your financial situation?
The Circles of Transformation is a program for you, said local organizer Anita Watson.

COT is an innovative ministry that partners low-income families with community volunteers to help establish clear goals and a pathway to a better place.

Watson said the newest set of COT classes will focus on wise money management.  Taught by Rick Zapta, regional extension agent for consumer sciences and personal finance management with the Auburn Cooperative Extension Agency, the classes will focus on understanding credit, how to live debt free and how to prepare for the job market.
