BankOn Chicago

Here’s a look at the early impact of our ASN events:

We’ve already hosted 6 events, reached 110 students, and supported 35 students in opening accounts.

Our initial student pre-assessments point to a strong need for basic financial tools and opportunities as only 51% of the students reported being banked and 27% of the students reported having a savings account at pre-test, reinforcing a strong need for this program.

While this is a small sample, it aligns with what we’re seeing firsthand: there is both a need—and a real opportunity—to build financial capability earlier.

We look forward to helping more students get banked through upcoming ASN events!

We are very grateful for support of the Wells Fargo Foundation, the Alternative School Network, and our program partners in making this work possible.
