November is Financial Literacy Month
Given that only 43% of younger adults (18-34) demonstrate strong financial knowledge in Canada, and just 31% of women consider themselves financially knowledgeable, it’s more important than ever to equip young people with the skills they need to succeed in today’s complex economy.
Now is the time to act and JA is the solution.
JA helps build key financial literacy skills that are more important than ever in the current economic climate. JA programs have been proven to make an impact:
- JA alumni report higher levels of household income and career satisfaction
- JA alumni are 3x less likely to spend more than they earn
One $50 donation supports a single student through a 6-hour program focused on teaching financial literacy skills through the perspective of business professionals, who donate their time to volunteer in the classroom.
JA Northern Alberta calls on individuals and organizations to raise your hand and get involved. Supporting JA is more than just philanthropy—it’s an investment in the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and financially empowered citizens. Together, we can build a resilient future.
