Money Talks

Moneycare’s unique financial literacy education program, “You’re the Boss”, has been written in a readily understandable, conversational English format.

The program strives to portray key messages in an empowering and engaging manner. We work on the basis that workshop participants, if given the opportunity and information, can independently and competently manage their own financial affairs.

You're the Boss App

The Salvation Army has developed an app as part of the You're the Boss program. The app is free and provides financial tips, information and other resources to help you stay on top of your money.
