Arizona Kids Saves Workshops

Teach your Kids & Teens (ages 6-18) the value of a dollar, and how to hang on to it!

While the adults are learning how to manage their personal finances, the kids & teens can attend a fun and entertaining class about saving, how banks work, wants vs. needs, budgeting and more! Dinner is provided for everyone by Arizona Saves.

Each week the children earn “class money” and have an opportunity to shop for great prizes in the “class store” or they can choose to save it to spend on even more fantastic prizes at the last workshop. The “class store” includes $5-15 gift cards, school supplies, movie passes and more! Through generous community funding, each child who attends ALL three workshops receives a $50 Series EE savings bond and a graduation certificate!

Feel free to bring your nieces, nephews, grandkids, neighbor-kids, etc! Participants without children are invited, too! Come alone, or invite the neighborhood! Financial education is good for EVERYONE!

Teens attending the workshops must be accompanied by an adult who is attending the Adult Financial Education series. Class registration is accepted right up to the day of the class, but please register early so we can plan for materials and dinner!
