Financial Foundations for Youth
Financial literacy is a life skill in modern society
Statistics show that students are inadequately prepared to face the financial burdens of the real world. Financial literacy is the ability to understand and effectively use various financial skills, including personal financial management, budgeting, saving and investing. We’ve got to do better for the leaders of tomorrow and give them the tools to succeed when they are starting off.
The Problem
Debt is increasing higher than disposable income. Youth get a post-secondary education and aren’t prepared for the financial debt they take on. In addition, financial products have never been as accessible as they are today. As a result, it is crucial that every student has a strong basis of financial knowledge - for all parts of their life ahead.
