Financial Fitness Programs

CUOSA’s Empowering Financial Literacy Program provides community members — especially low-income individuals, seniors, newcomers, and youth — with free education and tools to build financial understanding and stability.

The program offers practical, beginner-friendly workshops and one-on-one support in areas such as:

​

• Budgeting and Expense Tracking

• Personal and Family Tax Preparation (including GST and Payroll Basics)

• Savings and Debt Management Strategies

• Introduction to Banking, Credit, and Financial Systems

• Accessing Government Financial Aid and Support Programs

• Basic Investment Awareness and Long-Term Planning

​

The goal of this program is to foster financial confidence, reduce economic stress, and help participants make informed decisions about their money.

​

Through culturally responsive and accessible delivery, this program ensures that every participant — regardless of background or income — has the opportunity to build financial wellness and contribute to a more resilient community.
