What Is It?
Money Stories is a customized money management training program for Indigenous youth. Since 2021, the program has been offered in Anishinaabe, Ininew, or a blend of First Languages and English.
Money Stories is delivered in eight chapters. Topics covered include:
- Money Choices
- Asset Building
- Community Economic Development
- Goal Setting and Problem Solving
- Gathering Information
- Budgeting
- Banking
- Credit
Organizations and communities can request a one-hour workshop on any of the above topics, or a full eight-hour Money Stories series that covers all of the above topics.
Money Stories workshops and series can be delivered in-person or online via Zoom. Participants get a certificate by completing the full series of workshops.
