Young Investors

More than ever before, it pays to teach kids the skills they need to manage their money, now and in the future. We hope the following links and resources will help you introduce your children or students to the idea of responsible money management.

The NSSC, as a member of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has developed an interactive program to help parents and teachers talk with youth about budgeting, debit card use and common sense spending.  Make it Count - an interactive money mentoring program and information resource - include a parent's guide, instructor's guide and online daily budgeting program that uses everyday situations like errands as the basis for common sense discussions about youth money management.
