Money Moccasins

Financial Empowerment for Indigenous Communities. Free programs to learn about money in a safe, non-judgemental space.

We all have a journey to walk in life.  The path before us is not always smooth.  Walking barefoot can make the trip more difficult.  Through stories and knowledge sharing, Momentum will help you learn about Assets, Budgets, Banking, Credit and Consumerism in her Money Moccasins Series.  We welcome you to begin your financial wellness journey through an Indigenous lens.

Sign up for as few or as many workshops as you’d like.  Participants who attend all 5 workshops (Assets, Budget, Banking, Credit, and Consumerism) will receive a certificate of completion that can be applied to your credit report!  You will also obtain information about our matched savings programs, our exclusive app-based savings tool called QUBER and so much more resources available to you.

Registrants MUST identify as First Nation, Inuit or Metis to be eligible for this program. For Money Management programs available to non-Indigenous people, please visit our Money Management Workshops page.
