Enhancing Financial Education Across Colorado
RG Bank is championing financial education by providing free access to the Banzai online financial literacy program to over 1,680 students across several Colorado counties. This initiative includes students from 10 different schools who can now utilize Banzai’s comprehensive online tools and content library. These resources, which are crucial for building a solid financial foundation, are accessible from any internet-enabled device, allowing students to learn important financial skills both in the classroom and at home.
Empowering Students with Practical Financial Skills
Through their partnership with Banzai, RG Bank offers students a hands-on financial education platform where they can engage with real-life financial scenarios. Morgan Vandagriff, co-founder of Banzai, highlights the program’s practical approach to teaching financial literacy, which is now available at no cost to local schools thanks to RG Bank’s sponsorship. The program not only teaches students how to manage budgets, track spending, and understand financial trade-offs but also prepares them for future financial independence.
Community Impact and Educational Reach
RG Bank’s collaboration with Banzai extends beyond online resources, including opportunities for in-person or virtual presentations by financial experts. This initiative aligns with Colorado’s educational standards and aims to equip students with essential financial skills that are increasingly necessary in today’s economic climate. For teachers looking to incorporate these tools into their curriculum, additional information and resources can be accessed through the RG Bank and Banzai websites, enhancing the reach and impact of financial education within the community.
