Young Illinois Saves
(College Campaigns)
The
Young Illinois
Saves movement is a collaborative effort to increase teen and
young adult saving in the State of Illinois. The Young Illinois
Saves movement is one of the first statewide financial literacy
campaigns for teens and young adults. The Young Illinois Saves
movement is spearheaded by a number of planning partners
including: the Illinois State Treasurer, the City Treasurer of
Chicago, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the Consumer
Federation of America, the Economic Awareness Council, State of
Illinois 4H, the Chicago Public Schools and the University of
Illinois.
The Young Illinois
Saves program motivates teens and young adults to save using
trained volunteers to present financial literacy information
related to the need to save, the benefits of saving and how to
save (budgeting). The program makes saving easy through its bank
partnerships and incentives for students to take action by
making saving commitments and beginning to save.
