Financial Education Young people today are bombarded by increasing enticements from savvy businesses to spend their own money or influence their family's spending on a wide range of products and services. They are targeted through conventional advertising channels but also more subtle ones such as mobile phones, reality TV shows and the internet. As vulnerable consumers, it's important to give young people the education and tools to make informed choices which will help them manage debt and promotional traps. This is where YWCA NSW’s Financial Education Program comes in! YWCA NSW runs a one day highly interactive and engaging financial education workshop which is presented to students in years 9, 10 and 11. It is designed to challenge student's thinking about managing money and the many ways marketers target young people as consumers. The financial education program provides students with skills and tools that enable them to make informed decisions about their spending choices, complementing and supporting topics within the Stage 5 Commerce; English and Mathematics curricula. "I never thought maths and commerce could be so much fun!" - Financial Education participant YWCA NSW financial education workshops were developed by experienced teachers, trainers and experts in the field of financial education.Financial education workshops are facilitated by trained YWCA NSW staff who are supported by mentors.
