GGYC Celebrates Financial Literacy Month with YNAB Partnership

November 30, 2025

November marked the 15th anniversary of Financial Literacy Month (FLM) in Canada. The goal of this important month is to strengthen people’s financial knowledge and skills with the ultimate goal of improving their long-term financial well-being.

As Financial Literacy Month comes to an end, Go Green Youth Centre is proud to announce a partnership with YNAB (You Need A Budget). YNAB is a popular, award-winning budgeting software and resource platform.

Through this collaboration, Go Green Youth Centre was able to successfully distribute free YNAB licenses and financial literacy resources to the youth we work with, empowering them with a powerful tool for financial planning. We extend our sincere gratitude to YNAB for giving back to our community!

"YNAB is excited to partner with Go Green Youth Centre, a nonprofit organization based in Canada, through the YNAB for Good Program, which helps individuals in underrepresented and marginalized communities access financial literacy resources."

My family immigrated to Canada from South Asia when I was 8 years old for a better life. Try to imagine a first generation child trying to fit into a new and unfamiliar reality as his parents go through the same experience. It’s really hard when you’re in a different country.
