Recent studies have shown that America’s youth need expertise and guidance when it comes to saving, budgeting, and basic money management.
Good money habits don’t form out of thin air—they have to be learned. Like academics, providing strong building blocks at an early age helps ensure success. To start our younger members on the path to financial wellness sooner, BayPort offers an entire suite of youth-focused programs, student resources, and educational tools.

Using the Bite of Reality® app, this interactive event gives teens a taste of financial realities. They’ll learn how to make good financial decisions and understand the challenges of living on a budget. Teens are given an occupation, credit score, family, and debt, and experience “purchasing” housing, cars, food, and other expenses.
