At our school, we are honored to be able to participate in a savings program with our local bank. Our 5th graders are the 'tellers' and each Wednesday before school, the kids can make deposits. One of our school improvement goals is writing. Also, financial literacy is now a state standard. So, naturally this was a great fit for us to participate in the writing contest and cover many bases. I appreciate this opportunity that is provided by the American Consumer Credit Education nonprofit!

we have so enjoyed the mission of ACCESS in helping our kids understand the importance and value of money. Participating in the Mastering Money Basics contest is something we look forward to every year. It's fun and creates lot of great discussion and ideas that kids carry into their future.
Review from Guidestar
Our school participated in an essay contest sponsored by this organization, and it really helped my students think through the benefits of saving money. Some of the things they came up with were instructive to me, as well. It was a rich learning experience; as they say, teaching others is the very best way to learn. All of our interactions with ACCESS staff were quite positive, and we found them to be humble, gracious, and dedicated to their mission.

American Credit Education Support Services (ACCESS) strives to help consumers understand their credit and privacy rights, as well as their responsibilities and rights under today’s current consumer protection laws. ACCESS believes education is the key to consumer and victim empowerment and works hard to serve as a great source of news and information on credit, debt, fraud and privacy related matters. ACCESS provides consumers support and guidance to reach appropriate governmental, legal or legislative resources that can best help resolve their particular problem.
American Consumer Credit Education Support Services is dedicated to stopping the many abuses consumers face at the hands of creditors. We also place a great deal of emphasis on the importance of personal financial privacy and the attempts to destroy it by both government and the credit industry.
We provide consumers with the information they need to be be empowered and take control of their financial lives.
