Goal
This program provides our clients with basic financial knowledge to be able to manage their finances and make the right decisions to achieve their financial goals.

Financial Education
We teach clients how to budget, open a bank account, use a credit card, purchase a car, do their taxes, and more.

We have different types of loans depending on your needs. After having a coaching session, you will be able to decide what loan you would like to apply for. The different loans we offer include a credit building loan, car loan, personal loan, immigration loan, education and training loan, and a work support loan.
