Authors: ABC Life Literacy Canada
Developed in 2011, the Money Matters program sees volunteer tutors from the TD Bank Group go into community learning centres to teach numeracy and financial skills.
This video focuses on the response to the program when it was presented at a centre in London, Ontario, that supports people with disabilities.
The centre's coordinator notes that many of the participants are living at or below the poverty line, and face serious challenges in making their limited resources stretch to cover their needs. The Money Matters program teaches them financial skills that they can apply to their own situations.

Authors: ABC Life Literacy Canada
In this video, a student and an instructor at a neighbourhood learning centre explain how the Money Matters program fits into overall learning there. The program, established in 2011, sees volunteer tutors from the TD Bank Group go into learning centres to teach financial skills.
A young man who is a student at the centre describes how the program helped him establish a budget, understand credit, and learn how to save for the future. An instructor explains that the centre does not teach those skills, so the Money Matters program fills a gap by showing students how to take the reading, writing, and numeracy skills they learn in class and apply them to their everyday life.
