Request a Volunteer

Host a free financial workshop led by trained CFFP volunteers and give your community members access to practical, unbiased financial education. Workshops cover key topics like budgeting, credit, debt, and navigating the Canadian financial system—tailored for individuals living on modest incomes.

In addition to group sessions, one-on-one support is available for community members who need personalized guidance. Partner with us to empower your community members with the tools and confidence to make informed financial decisions. 

One-to-one support

In one-on-one sessions, CFFP volunteers work with community members seeking personalized financial guidance. They help individuals explore options related to saving, debt repayment, and accessing benefits— focusing on education, confidence-building, and financial empowerment. Volunteers guide thoughtful decision-making by discussing strategies and weighing pros and cons, empowering people to make informed choices. Sessions can be delivered virtually or in person, offering flexible support tailored to community needs. 

Group workshops

In group workshops—delivered in-person or online—CFFP volunteers support newcomers to Canada using culturally responsive, easy-to-follow materials. Sessions introduce key concepts in the Canadian financial system, such as credit and debt, avoiding scams, and understanding financial institutions. Designed specifically for newcomers, these workshops help community members build financial confidence and gain the knowledge they need to navigate their new financial environment with greater ease and independence.
