Financial Literacy is an important element of life and this workshop will equip girls in Grades 10, 11 and 12 with techniques and knowledge to build their financial literacy. Basic financial literacy helps people become self-sufficient and achieve financial stability. This includes being able to save money, distinguish the difference between wants and needs, manage a budget, pay their bills, buy a home, pay for university, and plan for retirement.
Each element of the workshop will provide skills to make informed decisions when it comes to money and prepare them to face the challenges of adult life.

Why the focus on Financial Literacy?
Developing skills and understanding of money will set your daughter up for financial success. In order to feel like they have control over their money rather than their money controlling them means action needs to be taken. The earlier your daughter starts the better outcomes they can achieve.
Most of us learn our money habits through either success or failure and at what cost? How often do we say, “I wish I had learned that earlier, or knew that sooner?” This workshop will enable your daughter to learn and take immediate action to have the best chance at financial wellbeing and financial success.
