Financial Literacy Program for Black Immigrant Women

The Vancouver Eastside Educational Enrichment Society (VEEES) is thrilled to offer the Financial Literacy Program for Black Immigrant Women. This program is the first of its kind in Metro Vancouver, that will offer a range of courses designed specifically to educate and empower Black immigrant, refugee, and migrant women, helping them and their families reap the benefits of being financially confident and savvy.

About the Program

We offer an independent and unbiased financial curriculum in an enjoyable and engaging environment. The courses are taught by Black women who have created and simplified the complex financial verbiage into everyday language to help women make better-informed financial decisions.

This program intends to highlight the concepts and significance of financial literacy and how it can contribute to improving socioeconomic well-being, financial sector development, poverty reduction and sustainable growth in black immigrant communities within and beyond BC.

Join Our Online Focus Group

But first, we would like to invite Black immigrant, refugee, and migrant women in Metro & Greater Vancouver to an online focus group to help us understand:

• The level of financial knowledge that already exists in our community;
• Your needs as a Black immigrant, refugee, and/or migrant woman so that we can build strong wrap around services to support you.

Are You?

If so, we would like to hear about your experience for an important focus group on the Black immigrant experience in BC. Are you well supported by community resources and services? Do you have enough income to be healthy and have a good quality of life? How do you stay connected to your community?

Join our focus group on Thursday, September 17 from 11am - 1pm PST. This focus group is confidential and your identity will not be attached to any information we gather for our report. You will receive a $20 gift card for sharing your valuable time with us.
