The April youth financial literacy contest is complete: winners have been announced.

Contest entries are in - thanks to all of our participants! 

Contest recap: April 1-28

Kids ages 3-18 learned valuable money lessons by participating in our financial education activities. Kids ages 3-6 colored a Scottie coloring sheet, while kids 7-18 explored our online financial education resource center. These fun activities help parents have conversations with kids and teens about financial health, saving habits and thinking about the future. While April is considered youth financial literacy month, we value year-round fun and effective financial learning for youth. You can view a list of resources and activities on our financial education resources page.
