Jocelyn
“I was even able to deposit the significant money earned by my kids in the CSI Summer Learning Program into a family RESP – it’s pretty emotional to see them planning and dreaming for their futures.”
Jocelyn first came to SEED in 2012 while working for a temp agency who placed her in a position at the front desk at SEED.
Everleigh
“I have learned so much from SEED. Now that I have these skills, I can teach them to others, especially those in situations similar to mine.”
Everleigh’s journey with SEED began when she discovered a summer job opportunity as a Junior Facilitator for the Money Stories program.
Liam
“The second year was more personal growth. I was scared to branch out the first summer. Now I’m able to speak more, and I’m more comfortable to speak in public.”
At first, Liam didn’t think he’d be interested in the money management component, but he soon built a relationship with the facilitator and began enjoying the classes.
