Unbroken

Rather than filling Easter baskets with candy this year, consider giving kids cash instead – and help start them on a path toward financial health.

The initiative encourages parents, teachers, and youth leaders to turn a fun holiday tradition into a learning opportunity. By swapping candy for cash, kids can begin learning early lessons about saving, spending, and making thoughtful financial choices.

Small moments like these can help build lifelong financial habits.
