Alterna - Education Program

At Alterna, we strongly believe in supporting the financial health and well-being of communities. One of the ways we do this is by developing and delivering financial education programs and resources tailored to the specific needs of the individuals, organizations, and communities we serve.

Our areas of focus within the Community Financial Education Program include:

Nonprofit, charitable, co-operative, and affordable housing members served through our Community Financial Resiliency Program.
Individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations served through our Community Microfinance Program.
Community partners in our ecosystem.

Alterna’s Community Financial Education Program was designed to provide holistic wraparound support for our members and community partners. The curriculum encompasses a wide range of topics, from Financial Fundamentals to more in-depth and specific workshops for our focus areas.
