Education is one of the most powerful tools we have to expand opportunity and shape our future. That’s why city-wide initiatives like CollegeBound Saint Paul exist, to help families access early childhood resources and save for post-secondary education.

Our morning was made brighter after visiting the students at L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion for Deposit Day! Organized by CollegeBound, we helped Pre-K and Kindergarten students learn about the difference between things that cost a lot and a little, the importance of saving money, and how college is within reach.

I was the first in my family to go to college. It wasn’t possible in Laos. Like many first-generation graduates, that experience opened doors I never thought possible. It’s amazing to that there are so many pathways after high school—anywhere from college to trade school. Whether it is something as simple as trading a coin for a toy or as meaningful as helping families open a College Savings Account, CollegeBound is investing in brighter futures for our city.
