making smart money choices - needs, wants, trade-offs and priorities
setting financial goals and how to reach them
introduction to budgeting
types of budgets - balanced, surplus and deficit
interest earnings and charges
borrowing basics
understanding credit scores
Each workshop session is:
facilitated by professionals with extensive business experience
curriculum based so that participants can apply existing knowledge
fully customizable to lesson plans and class learning goals
kid-centred with concepts taught in easy-to-grasp, plain language
focused on day-to-day money management in a student's world
real-life, interactive and informative
confidence building - geared for life long retention of learning
The Financial Basics Workshop is offered in a three session format - Financial Goals, Budgeting and Borrowing/ Credit. Programs are available tailored to elementary, middle or high school students. Sessions can be integrated in-class during the regular school day or as an after-school program, subject to demand and the needs of parents and teachers.
A wealth of knowledge + a common sense approach = a lifelong return on investment.
