Leveling up financial literacy for Canadian youth 🚀

We all wish we’d learned about credit scores before we actually needed them.

That’s why we’re excited to share Money Questions Answered, a free interactive series created by JA and Neo. It’s designed to help youth master payments, saving, and debt management through interactive videos and digital modules. :movie_camera::books:

Whether you have a teen at home or a younger sibling, this is the perfect head start for their financial future.

What’s the one money lesson you wish you’d learned as a teen? Let’s hear it below! :backhand_index_pointing_down:

I think Neo should look at offering free sessions on financial literacy through Connected North. Financial literacy is an important skill for youth, and it’s a way to get Neo’s name and mission out to young people.

That’s a great suggestion! Thanks Kris, definitely something we should look at. Do you have any experience with the organization?

Lovely suggestion! Thanks @KDeCorby

I dont think it should be directed at just youth… there are many adults that didnt learn financial responsibility amd still are not quite there.

Not on the provider side, but I have had sessions in my classes. RBC offers free financial literacy sessions through them.

They specialize in offering videoconference sessions to schools in remote areas that often don’t have access to all the presenters a city would have to offer.

They prioritize Indigenous presenters (the RBC presenter is an Indigenous woman) when possible, however not all presenters are Indigenous.

I think the type of community engagement that provides a valuable service (financial literacy education) can both raise Neo’s profile and help to communicate Neo’s values to the public.
