MASSCAP Asset Development Round-table Presents: How to Build Hope with Children's Savings Accounts

Cost: Free

Target Audience: Program directors, asset development staff

Join the MASSCAP Asset Development Round-table for a special presentation by the Massachusetts Office of the Treasurer's SeedMA program. Learn about Children's Savings Accounts and exciting initiatives happening around the state.

Over 1.3 million American children born each year – and more than half of minority children – are born into families with negligible savings to invest in their futures. Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) have the potential to expand educational and economic opportunity for low- and moderate-income families. Research indicates that low- and moderate-income children with college savings of just $500 or less are three times more likely to enroll in college and four times more likely to graduate! Moreover, family ownership of assets can give children a transformative sense of possibility and hope for the future. 

Presenter: Paul Kelly, SeedMA, Massachusetts Office of the Treasurer
