Junior Achievement Event In Canada
As part of DFC Corp’s Consumer Education platform, our companies support a variety of programs that promote financial education in the communities that we serve.

In Canada, a team of company volunteers facilitated a financial responsibility workshop to over 125 teens from ages 15-19 at Junior Achievement’s New Generation Leaders Forum. This workshop was centered on budgeting, basic financial planning and separating wants verses needs. The annual, week-long conference is designed to gather the best and brightest Junior Achievers from ten different countries to attend business workshops and compete on multi-national teams.
