Cultivating Financial Literacy and Mentorship Programs for Indigenous Communities

The Summer Internship for 2024 will focus on having two interns continue to enhance and roll out e-learning platforms that focus on Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship fundamentals in Indigenous communities. Specifically, two interns will first be trained in project management, event planning, customer service, financial literacy and technology certification programs that will allow them to deploy the training to 38 Indigenous high school students and over 500 Indigenous people on-reserve across the country. This internship will also provide the opportunity for the interns to engage in telehealth and emergency preparedness practices.
