Financial literacy
The bilingual financial literacy programs created by our member and partner Desjardins and delivered across Ontario are aimed at students starting in grade 4 and follow them through to adulthood. Through interactive, face-to-face or virtual workshops, participants develop and reinforce the financial skills essential for an enlightened and serene financial life.
"Financial education is the first step to financial freedom".
Targeting young people from elementary school through to their first steps as young adults, these three financial literacy programs pave the way to mastering the concepts of personal finance. The practical, hands-on knowledge imparted in the workshops gives youths the means to make informed decisions as early as adolescence, and to build a solid foundation for financial responsibility in their adult lives.
If you work in a school, university or organization, our workshops can be easily integrated into your curriculum. For further information, please contact our team! Contact details are given at the bottom of the page.
