What is the Teach Children to Save Day?
Teach Children to Save Day is an annual awareness day when bankers teach young people about the value of saving.  Visiting classrooms, youth centers and after-school programs, bankers use their real-world knowledge and skills to encourage young people to start young, and save more. This year's Teach Children to Save Day is set for April 24.

Teach Children to Save Day is a component of the national Teach Children to Save campaign. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the important role that banks and bankers play in helping young people develop lifelong savings habits. So far it's reached more than 5 million young people with the help of some 100,000 plus banker volunteers, Teach Children to Save Day lessons, and the Teach Children to Save website: www.teachchildrentosave.com.

Why should I participate?
You can use your unique set of skills to help address a serious problem in our nation, the lack of financial literacy. Plus, it's fun! It's an opportunity to reach out to your communities and give young people the tools and inspiration for a successful financial future. Banker volunteers enjoy interacting with students during the lesson and when they stop by the branch to open a new savings account.
