Teach Kids to Save Day

We understand that the foundation for a secure financial future is laid early in life. That’s why we are dedicated to making financial education accessible and engaging for young minds through our Teach Kids to Save Day initiative.

In collaboration with the American Bankers Association (ABA), this annual event aims to instill essential money management skills in students from a young age, setting them on a path to financial responsibility and success.

What is Teach Kids to Save Day?

Teach Kids to Save Day is a nationwide event dedicated to educating children about the importance of saving, budgeting, and managing money. This initiative, supported by the ABA, brings together banks, educators, and community leaders to provide interactive and educational experiences for students.

Our Partnership with the ABA

By partnering with the ABA, Unity Bank leverages their extensive resources and expertise to enhance our Teach Kids to Save Day programming. The ABA provides a wealth of educational materials, lesson plans, and best practices that help us deliver engaging and effective financial literacy workshops. This partnership ensures that our program is aligned with national standards and offers students the most relevant and impactful financial education available. Our bankers also participate directly, sharing their expertise and personal experiences to inspire and educate young learners. Together, let’s inspire young minds and set them on a path to a financially secure future.

Scholarship Program

At Unity Bank we believe in helping you achieve your dreams and continuing your education. Our Scholarship Program provides financial support to outstanding students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership, and community involvement. By offering these scholarships, we help remove barriers and open doors to higher education opportunities.
