National Teach Children to Save Day

National Teach Children to Save Day is an annual event in the United States that is held on the last Thursday of April. The day was established by the American Bankers Association (ABA) in 1997 to help promote financial literacy among young people and to encourage them to save money. On this day, banks and other financial institutions across the country hold educational events and activities to teach children and teenagers about the importance of saving money, managing their finances, and making smart financial decisions. These events may include classroom presentations, interactive games and activities, savings challenges, and other educational resources designed to help young people develop healthy financial habits that will serve them well throughout their lives. The ABA also provides free resources and materials to help parents, educators, and other caregivers teach children about money management and saving. These resources include lesson plans, activity sheets, and other tools to help kids learn about budgeting, saving, and investing.
