About

The aim of our program is to ensure a fun, engaging and comfortable space to educate our rangatahi about the importance of managing and understanding their money better.

There are 2 workbooks the rangatahi will complete:

Workbook one covers spending plans. Rangatahi will gain understanding of their own money situation, keeping track of income and expenses, needs vs wants and practicing good behavior by making basic budgets and spending plans.

Workbook two covers borrowing money. Rangatahi will learn about what credit is and how it works, ways to borrow money, what interest is and lastly building a credit history and why it's important.

We can tailor the program to suit needs and will even come to premises. This can be done for one hour per week over 6 weeks or a 1-2 day workshop, this is completely flexible. Groups will need to have a minimum of five in attendance.

A certificate will be provided for each rangatahi after the program has been completed.
