Reflecting on her experience, she shared,
I have learned so much from SEED. Now that I have these skills, I can teach them to others, especially those in situations similar to mine.
As a Junior Facilitator for the Money Stories program, Everleigh found herself traveling to different places, which she described as fostering a vital sense of connection.
Everleigh shared how she learned about finances through SEED:
Because of SEED, I am able to manage my money … I’m able to budget and to pay my bills.
While she has yet to acquire a credit card, she now comprehends the fundamentals of credit, which will be very helpful. Everleigh is passionate about spreading the word about SEED, highlighting that many lack basic financial knowledge:
A lot of people don’t know the difference between needs vs wants or the value of money. I didn’t!
She encourages her friends to consider opportunities at SEED:
They go beyond financial education; it’s a supportive community. I call them my SEED family.
