Exciting News: Re-Launching the Financial Empowerment Program, Thanks to CIBC Foundation!

We are thrilled to announce the re-launch of our Financial Empowerment Program, made possible through the generous support of CIBC Foundation! This program marks a significant step in our ongoing mission to provide women in York Region with the tools and resources they need to achieve financial independence and stability.

Empowering Women Through Financial Literacy

At the Women's Centre of York Region (WCYR), we understand that financial literacy is crucial for personal and economic growth. Our Financial Empowerment Program is designed to equip women with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed financial decisions, manage their money effectively, and plan for a secure future.

What the Program Offers

Participants will have access to a comprehensive curriculum that covers a range of essential topics, including:

  • Budgeting and Saving: Learn how to create and stick to a budget, and discover effective strategies for saving.

  • Debt Management: Gain insights into managing and reducing debt, including credit card debt and loans.

  • Saving Vehicles: Explore different tools and accounts for savings options and learn how to plan for a financially secure future.

  • Navigating Financial Systems: Get tips on how to navigate banking systems, access credit, and understand your credit score.

  • Fraud Protection: Learn about common scams, how to identify a scam and what to do if you experience identity theft.

Thanks to CIBC Foundation

This program would not be possible without the generous support of CIBC Foundation. Their commitment to empowering women through financial literacy aligns perfectly with our goals at WCYR. With their partnership, we can ensure everyone has the tools and knowledge to succeed.
