About

For people living with low-income, accessing and understanding the financial system can be challenging. People can face barriers including language, poor financial history, stigma, and access to documentation.

Each One, Teach One sessions empower participants by:

  • Improving financial security through saving and asset-building opportunities.
  • Reducing anxiety and stress around family finances.
  • Increasing understanding of government tax benefits, contributing to increased household income.
  • Increasing access and awareness to safe, affordable financial products and services.
  • Improving knowledge and skills to help participants lift themselves out of poverty.

What we do

The Financial Pathways Collaborative, an initiative of United Way of the Alberta Capital Region, launched Each One, Teach One (EOTO) in 2016.

Through EOTO, volunteers from financial institutions are trained to become financial literacy educators. Volunteers then teach free workshops in partnership with local agencies, delivering accessible and empowering financial literacy information to vulnerable clients in the community.

This innovative program helps people in the Edmonton area build financial stability and independence.

The following Each One, Teach One workshops are available in the community:

  • Introduction to Basic Banking
  • Introduction to Basic Budgeting
  • Credit Cards & Prepaid Cards
  • Loans You Don’t Want Loans: Costs & Obligations
  • Debt Smarts
  • Building a Healthy Credit History
  • Identity Theft & Fraud Prevention
  • RRSPs and TFSAs
  • Introduction to Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs)
  • Understanding Contracts
  • Financial Wellness for Seniors

EOTO workshops are run in partnership with community service organizations and can be designed for groups as small as seven people or as large as 20.

Workshops are free and take 60 to 90 minutes to deliver, depending on the topic.
