Why it matters

73% of Canadian high schoolers know they aren't ready to make financial decisions.

We are a student-run, Alberta-registered not-for-profit closing that gap one workshop at a time. In 2025 we reached roughly 150 youth across 13 workshops, with a statistically significant lift in financial literacy after a single session. Our 2026 goal is 200+ youth.

Ways to support

Sponsor one workshop or a whole semester.

Every level comes with a year-end impact summary and public thanks. Amounts are a guide; we are a student-run not-for-profit and even a single sponsored workshop makes a real difference.
