Stretching Your Dollars

Stretching Your Dollars is an intergenerational navigation program that empowers urban youth and seniors to garner ideas, explore and implement strategies that will enable them to make informed and effective decisions while managing their limited finances.

In April 2018 we received funding from United Way of Greater Toronto for this new project that will enable us to serve 6 low income communities across the City of Toronto over the next 3 years. With this funding we will encourage information sharing between generations on how to access available government, social services and business initiatives that can help mitigate some of the out of pocket expenses that residents unknowingly pay because they are unaware and not informed about out saving opportunities.

Through our United Way of Greater Toronto funding we are able to serve 400 seniors and youth over the course of 3 years.
