That person is then given a personalized budget, savings plan and even investment advice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Eric Litwiller, Director of Development and Partnerships at Urban League of Kansas, said the program is for people who want to work on their finances but may be overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cPeople don\u2019t know where to begin. It can be very easy to be overwhelmed and say, \u2018I don\u2019t want to do anything,\u2019 but a big part of Urban League\u2019s mission is to help people raise themselves up from a financial standpoint,\u201d Litwiller said. \u201cI think this is a great place to start.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The counseling sessions will be available at the Urban League office in Wichita. Anyone interested can call the organization at 316-262-2463 to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KWCH. All rights reserved.
