PennyDrops is a national non-profit working to pave the way to financial freedom for young Canadians coast-to-coast, by equipping students with the knowledge and confidence
to make informed financial decisions. There has never been a point in history where the capital markets have been as accessible to such a great degree of people as they are now. As a result, the development of a strong financia
l literacy base at the core of every young Canadian student is more crucial than ever before. To address this issue, PennyDrops partners with high schools to design and implement engaging financial literacy programs within their curricula. Taught by well-trained university-level mentors, the programs equip Canadian high school students with real world financial knowledge. This not only gives them the confidence to make smart financial decisions and start them down the path toward economic success, but also enables them to improve the financial health of communities across the globe. Students who have completed PennyDrop’s curriculum will have the opportunity to work along side us and our partner NGOs to develop financial literacy programs targeting marginalized groups internationally. We believe the penny finally drops when students are able to pass along their newfound financial knowledge, further enforcing and testing their own financial capacity while at the same time enabling them to tangibly impact the lives of others.
