Expanding access. Building financial confidence. Creating opportunity. 💙

Thanks to the support of The Lawson Foundation, 1,754 underserved students across Canada gained access to JA financial literacy programs, equipping them with vital financial skills and the confidence to navigate a complex economic landscape.

By reaching underserved, rural, and remote northern communities, this partnership is helping ensure more young people have the knowledge and tools they need to make informed financial decisions and build brighter futures.

Thank you for helping make financial literacy more accessible to youth across Canada.

Building financial confidence starts with the right foundation.

With support from TD Canada, JA Canada's Dollars With Sense program empowered 8,020 Canadian students during the 2025–2026 academic year with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions.

The impact speaks for itself: over 80% of students reported feeling confident in their ability to make safe and smart spending decisions, while 75% shared that they felt more confident in themselves after completing the program.

Through TD's support, JA Canada is helping more young people gain lifelong money management skills that can help them navigate their futures.

Today, we're joining the global JA network in celebrating International Youth Day and the young people who are shaping the future of our communities.

No matter where they live, young people share many of the same goals: opportunity, purpose, meaningful work, and the chance to make a difference. We're honored to help them develop the skills and confidence to turn those aspirations into action.

Financial confidence starts with opportunity, and with people who show up to make an impact. 💙

A huge thank you to ADP, our National Supporting Partner of Financial Literacy Programs, for helping bring financial learning to 1,950 students across Canada this year.

But the impact goes beyond just that, 134 ADP volunteers helped bring JA's financial literacy programs to life, sharing their time, knowledge, and experience with students during ADP's Month of Caring 2026.

Thank you, ADP, for shaping financial futures of young Canadians and for showing up in classrooms and communities to make a difference. 🙌
