E-10 – FINANCIAL EDUCATION BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER INCARCERATION

To be a unifying person, you must have acceptance. It is a social responsibility for those who are better educated to give back some to the society in whatever service they can help.” – Tan Cheng Bock. There are just some people who have an inherent calling to volunteer. Marty Lynch, Education Director at non-profit Cambridge Credit Counseling is one such person. Marty has spent the better part of almost 20 years volunteering his time to offer financial education to pre and post-incarcerated individuals as well as those still serving out their time. While most of Marty’s volunteering is with the Women’s Correctional Center in Chicopee, Massachusetts, Marty does, on occasion, heed the call to the Federal Courts in Connecticut to assist with the financial education of Parolees and even sometimes the court clerks themselves!
