The start of a new school year is a great time for your bank to get engaged with the youth in its community—and the ABA has two easy ways for you to do so. Get Smart About Credit and Lights, Camera, Save! are programs that challenge teens to expand their financial capabilities in fun, interactive ways.

Looking for an out-of-the-box way to encourage teens to be savvy with their money? Register to be a local host for this year’s Lights, Camera, Save! contest that encourages teens to use video to communicate the value of sound money management. 

Get Smart About Credit is a volunteer opportunity for bankers to raise awareness about the importance of using credit wisely—with presentation guides on identity protection, money management, paying for college, careers in banking and more. Sign up to attend a free webinar on Thurs., Sept. 13, at noon CDT to learn more about the program, its free resources (available in both English and Spanish) and the new materials on careers in banking.
