    A partnership between the Emery Collegiate Institute (Toronto, Ontario) and York University's Calumet and Stong Colleges established a team of student volunteers from York and Emery that brought an idea into reality. A peer-led financial wellness project follows three characters as they age from 18 to 30 and learn about how their individual money attitudes influence their financial behaviours. Funded by York-TD Community Engagement Centre, this project aims to reduce the financial anxiety experienced by students, parents, and teachers, and aid in a successful post-secondary transition.

    Jane Finch Community Research Partnership : November 29, 2016 Symposium Report
    (2016) Tecle, Sam; Offeh-Gyimah, Abena; Ramsaroop, Talisha; Schwartzentruber, Lorna
    The Jane and Finch Community Research Partnership (JFCRP) held a symposium that brought together community residents, organizations, and York University academics on Tuesday November 29, 2016. The gathering addressed challenges in accessing research about or conducted in the Jane and Finch community as well as the ongoing challenging relationship between Jane-Finch and York University around research ethics. The need for a community ethics process is necessary to guide and inform how research is conducted in the community. The day was informed by a JFCRP event held June 2016 and a previous symposium, Connect the Dots, hosted on December 11, 2013.
