AMERICA SAVES SPARKS BEHAVIOR CHANGE
Check out this heartwarming story from America Saves Saver, Rita Byrd!
Rita originally found America Saves several years ago while browsing online and decided to take the America Saves Pledge, but stated that at that time she just read the words and moved on. She didn’t really take it seriously or put in the work to start saving.
It was this past year while visiting a very financially conscious relative that she received an email from America Saves announcing an upcoming virtual workshop, 6 Steps To Establishing a Spending & Savings Plan.
She says the email came at the perfect time since finances had been a topic of discussion that week. She decided right then that it was time to get serious and start working toward reducing her debt and building an emergency fund.
Once the workshop started Rita says all her fears were put to rest by what she learned, thanks to the America Saves workshop.
We absolutely LOVE stories and feedback like this from our Savers! We’re on a mission to increase financial confidence for the everyday American and stories with this kind of impact are what keep us going.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT
America Saves has three programs that directly carry out our mission to niche communities, encouraging them to save successfully, reduce debt, and begin building wealth. Find out the latest from America Saves for Young Workers, which focuses on teaching young people to save in tandem with their very first summer job, America Saves at Work, our newest program built from our former Split to Save program, which focuses on workplace savings, and Military Saves, which focuses on the broader military-affiliated community.
Here's a closer look at what's happening with each program:
America Saves for Young Workers is beyond excited to celebrate the enormous achievement of our partner employers and their young workers in 2022! The 2022 Annual Impact Report is in, and we are proud to say that - thanks to the strong effort of our partners - 12,452 young workers took the America Saves Pledge, pledging to save an impressive $10,945,033.
These young workers were positively impacted by a summer employment experience that not only provided their first paycheck, but also encouraged them to establish lifelong savings habits by promoting the use of direct deposit, split deposit, and goal setting.
Be on the lookout for a link to the 2022 America Saves for Young Workers Annual Impact Report in the coming weeks!
2023 could be the year that you decide to become an America Saves for Young Worker employer! Whether your organization hires youth seasonally or all year long, the America Saves for Young Workers program is easy to implement and promotes positive saving behaviors while building financial confidence in young adults.
