Some words from our Young AmeriTowne participants:
Dear Young AmeriTowne Leaders - We are grateful for the scholarship that you gave us. We won't forget this experience that you gave us at Young AmeriTowne. - Alexis, 5th grade student
Dear AmeriTowne Workers - Thanks so much for preparing AmeriTowne, the shops and our money for the day. Thank you for giving me the experience to work and handle situations. I loved my job and being able to use a debit card. I wish I could have stayed longer because it was so much fun. P.S. Other kids will love it. - Ryan, 5th grade student
And a few words from our teachers and volunteers:
Dear Young AmeriTowne Staff - Thank you so very much for your generosity. The scholarship you provided the students at Field Elementary School allowed them to experience a fun-filled day of learning that they will never forget. - Pat Egeberg, Teacher
For our students, this is the best way to teach math. They "get it" when it's about real things. - Teacher, Denver Public School
This is a great thing for the kids. Watching this event in action today has left me with a feeling of hopefulness and excitement to see what the next generation will achieve - Young AmeriTowne Parent Volunteer, Will Rogers Elementary School (87% of students low-income)
We envision a future where all young individuals are equipped
with the knowledge, skills and unwavering confidence required to seize transformative opportunities arising from their active engagements in the free enterprise system.
Vision: By 2030, we want to empower and positively impact 1 million youth annually through financial literacy to achieve success in business and life at a local, national, and global level.
In 1987, Bill Daniels founded Young Americans Bank in Denver, the only FDIC-insured bank dedicated to youth up to age 22, believing that hands-on banking would inspire young people to take charge of their financial futures. A year later, the Young Americans Center for Financial Education was established as a nonprofit to expand financial education for Colorado youth. Today, over 48,300 students annually participate in programs—Young AmeriTowne (free enterprise), YouthBiz (entrepreneurship), and International Towne (global economics)—helping them take charge by building essential 21st-century skills in finance, business, and economics. Community support fuels these impactful programs, as the bank itself is non-profit and relies on generous contributions to continue its mission.
