Cultivate Our Youth is hosting a youth financial literacy program designed to equip young people with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to make smart money moves and create a financially empowered future. Hosted by Infinite Wave Foundation, this 7-week series is built to be interactive, inspiring, and rooted in real-life skills.
73% said the #1 thing they wish they were taught earlier in life was financial literacy — and they’re not alone. Across Canada, most youth enter adulthood feeling unprepared to manage money, navigate credit, or plan for their future.
Yet financial literacy is one of the most powerful tools for building confidence, independence, and generational wealth. By learning how to manage money early, youth gain the power to make informed decisions, avoid financial pitfalls, and create a future they’re proud of.
This program bridges that gap — one workshop, one story, one smart decision at a time.
Dates: Mid to End October
Time: TBA
Location: Hyrbrid / TBA
Each week features themed workshops, real-world examples, and fun team activities.
