The Each One Teach One workshops are well designed, engaging, and informative. Whether it’s a senior who is better prepared to avoid a potential fraud situation or an attendee who wants to re-join the workforce and needs help with basic budgeting or building a healthy credit history, if I can even reach one person at each session and make a difference in their lives, then I’ve achieved my goal. I truly enjoy facilitating Each One Teach One workshops and supporting this very important program that truly has a positive impact to the local communities that we serve.

I’ve been a coach since 2015 and Assiniboine Credit Union (ACU) has trained over 40 staff to deliver financial literacy. We have a network of over 42 community partners who we work with to learn from and share our knowledge with. I feel many families have benefited from the workshops, I know my family would have if EOTO was around back then. We would have had the knowledge, strength and confidences to negotiate and ask questions; my family would have struggled less.

People quickly understand that money can get you things, but beyond that – how to manage it, how to plan and make it work for you, let alone the quagmire of what credit is, and how it works – is akin to being set out to sea in a fog, with one paddle and no compass. It’s so easy to demystify through the use simple of language, which is exactly what EOTO does – and it’s so rewarding to see our workshop attendees “getting” it.
