The Program

The Financial Empowerment Program will teach financial literacy and more importantly, catalyze a transformative journey towards financial empowerment.

More than accumulating wealth, Financial Empowerment is also about fostering a healthy and sustainable relationship with money. Through this program, we provide participants with a safe space to explore their relationship with money by guiding them through some powerful questions and activities to open up awareness, provide the knowledge and tools they need to make informed financial decisions, plan for the future, and achieve their financial goals.

The Role

We need someone who is very well-versed with the Canadian banking system, types of products, tools, and instruments available; practical insight around strategies to be financially stable. How to manage debt and protect/build up your credit score.

More specifically, when you visit the program webpage, you’ll see the outline of the 9-session program, we need instructor(s) to deliver Session 4: Credit & Debt Management, Session 6: Savings & Banking, and Session 7: Asset & Growth Management.
