Money StoriesGrounding Indigenous Youth in the Lessons of their EldersWhat is it?Money Stories is a customized money management training program for Indigenous youth. The program combines Indigenous Elders speaking about their experiences with money, with facilitator-led activities about money that are relevant to youth. “We (Elders) need to help the next generation out of poverty. Young people have gifts and talents that should be used. I believe that preparing them for the future, one day they’ll go out into society with the experience and confidence to know they can make it.” Elder Lucy Guiboche.Money stories is delivered in eight chapters. Topics covered include Money, My Community & Me, Building Assets, Goal Setting & Problem Solving, Gathering Information, Budgeting, Banking, and Credit.

"The world of money is one area where many people often feel they lack control. Many, if not most, Canadians never had much in the way of financial education – at school or from parents. We hope to change that for the next generation. [Note to Parents and Teachers – Guides are with each Module.]"
