On International Children’s Day, we’re celebrating the voices that matter most 💙💓 These handwritten thank-you notes came from students at Norway Public School after the JA More than Money led by our incredible BMO Financial Group volunteer, Tenzin Dhadon.

From financial literacy to interactive games and activities, students reflected on what they learned and enjoyed in their own words.

Thank you, Tenzin, for creating a meaningful JA learning experience for young people!

Last week, 40+ Grades 6 & 7 students spent a day at the AGF Investments office exploring what financial literacy looks like in the real world through Dollars with Sense 💡

Guided by professionals, students explored financial concepts, heard career stories and toured the trading floor, even caught of the Toronto skyline. A keynote from Mark Adams, executive at AGF Investments and JA Board of Governors member, brought the learnings to life.

Thank you to AGF Investments for opening your doors to students and making the experience meaningful. 💙

Last week, 110+ high school students came together at the JA Youth Peer Leaders Mental Wellbeing Summit to build resilience, strengthen peer support skills and understand what mental well-being looks like in their everyday lives. 💙

Students explored coping strategies, stigma, self-compassion and navigating digital spaces through interactive workshops with Mental Health Commission of Canada Commission de la santé mentale du Canada, collaborative activities by Common Compass and powerful lived-experience stories from Zurich Canada, Boxx Insurance and mental health advocates.

Thank you Z Zurich Foundation for making this experience possible, Zurich Canada for hosting and JA Canada for their continued support in empower youth to lead positive change in their communities.
