Support | Prepare | Build

The goal of the Building Futures in Alberta program is to support Alberta Teachers. Together, we can help prepare students to undertake their future economic and financial decisions with confidence and competence and build a healthy financial future.

What Albertans are saying!

Pay yourself first. It's simple: when income hits, put savings aside immediately. Don't wait until month-end, or it'll likely be nothing left. Prioritize your savings, then spend the rest. #PersonalFinance #SaveMoney #FinancialFreedom #MoneyTips #Budgeting #WealthBuilding #FinancialLiteracy

Many seniors don’t talk about money. Not because they don’t want to — but because there aren’t many spaces where they feel comfortable doing it. That’s what this program is designed to change.
