“Teach Children to Save Day” Achieves Great Success

by | 04/14/14 | Commentary, Uncategorized

The annual Teach Children to Save Day on April 11th was marked by broad participation and great success in advancing financial literacy awareness and in educating students on the importance of saving and money management.  For more than seventeen years, this initiative partners banks with students, who are taught important lessons about money and personal finance.

Every year, this national program expands its reach, with approximately 130,500 bankers having taught over 6 million students education on savings and other important financial literacy concepts since the initiative’s founding in 1997.  Financial literacy proponents note that one of the best outcomes of Teach Children to Save Day is the fact that it prompts bankers to volunteer as financial education teachers not only on the annual day dedicated for the event, but also throughout the year, as bankers often get highly engaged after their first teaching experience.

Anyone interested in becoming part of this initiative throughout the year, or participating in next year’s Teach Children to Save Day, can learn more about it here.
