The host of the workshop, Basia Pozin, is passionate about filling the gaps people have in their financial education, and she believes it is crucial for kids to start learning the skills at a young age. In general, her goal is to make financial literacy more accessible and less intimidating. As a “30 Under 30 Changemaker” and the youngest branch manager in Canada (at age 23!), Basia’s knowledge and passion for financial literacy is boundless – and every young person would stand to benefit from the Money Matters workshops.
