Golden Legacy Workshop – Estate Planning for Every Generation
2025-10-09 18:00 - 19:00
In partnership with AHCOPA’s Will Power Program and Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, the Good as Gold Foundation is proud to bring estate planning education directly to our community. Together, we’re making sure people of all ages understand how to protect their assets and plan for the future.
The Golden Legacy Workshop is designed to shift the conversation around estate planning. Too often, wills and estate planning are seen as something reserved for older adults, but the truth is, millennials and Gen Z are acquiring assets earlier than ever. From purchasing homes and cars, to building businesses, investing, and even collecting valuable personal items like jewelry, our generation is building wealth that needs to be protected.

Learn the essentials of estate planning and why creating a will matters at every stage of life.
Understand how protecting your assets today ensures peace of mind for your loved ones tomorrow.
Access free resources and legal support through AHCOPA’s Will Power Program and Community Legal Services of Philadelphia.
Be part of a movement led by the Good as Gold Foundation to raise awareness among younger generations about the importance of legacy building.

This workshop isn’t just about paperwork, it’s about empowerment. It’s about knowing that no matter your age, your legacy matters. Whether you’re 25 or 55, it’s time to start planning for what you’ve worked hard to build.
In the Golden Legacy Workshop, you will learn how to protect your assets, secure your future, and build your legacy!

Additional hands-on experiences, such as home walk-throughs with realtors, ensure that participants gain both knowledge and real-world perspective.
