Small Group Learning That Works

We've discovered something important about financial education—it sticks better when people learn alongside others facing similar challenges. Our approach centers around intimate learning circles where participants share insights, ask questions without judgment, and build understanding together. Rather than sitting through lectures, you'll work through real scenarios with peers who bring different perspectives and experiences to every discussion.

Budget Planning Circles

Work with 6-8 participants to create practical budgets, share strategies, and troubleshoot common spending challenges together.

Investment Study Partners

Pair up with someone at your experience level to research investment options, analyze market trends, and make informed decisions.

Debt Strategy Teams

Join supportive groups focused on debt reduction strategies, sharing progress, and maintaining motivation through challenges.

Retirement Planning Workshops

Collaborate with peers in similar life stages to understand retirement options and create personalized savings strategies.

Each group meets twice monthly, giving members time to apply concepts between sessions. We've found this rhythm allows for deeper reflection and more meaningful progress than cramming information into weekend seminars. Groups typically run for four months, though many participants choose to continue meeting informally after the structured program ends.

Real Projects, Real Results

Community Investment Challenge

Teams of four research and present investment strategies for a hypothetical ,000 portfolio. Groups examine different asset classes, risk levels, and time horizons while learning from each other's research methods and conclusions. The exercise reveals how various approaches can succeed under different circumstances.

Small Business Budget Workshop

Participants work in pairs to create comprehensive budgets for local small businesses, interviewing actual business owners about their financial challenges. This hands-on project connects classroom concepts with real-world complexities while building relationships with Vancouver's entrepreneurial community.

Family Financial Planning Simulation

Groups navigate a year-long financial scenario involving career changes, unexpected expenses, and major life decisions. Teams must adapt their strategies as new challenges emerge, learning how flexibility and communication support financial resilience in family settings.

Retirement Planning Case Studies

Working with real financial scenarios from anonymous volunteers, teams develop comprehensive retirement strategies for different income levels and life situations. Participants present findings to the group and receive feedback from both peers and experienced financial professionals.

Beyond the Classroom

The connections you make here extend well past our program completion. We've seen study partners become business collaborators, budget circle members become lifelong friends, and casual conversations spark new career opportunities. Our community creates space for these relationships to develop naturally.

Monthly Community Meetups

Casual gatherings at local Vancouver venues where current participants and alumni share experiences, discuss financial topics, and maintain friendships formed during the program.

Professional Mentorship Matching

Connect with experienced professionals who've completed our program and want to guide others. These relationships often continue for years, providing ongoing support for major financial decisions.

Industry Guest Speaker Series

Meet local financial professionals, successful entrepreneurs, and community leaders who share insights and often provide job opportunities or professional connections for our participants.
