Youth Savings Certificates & Literacy Program in St. Louis
Gateway Metro is promoting financial literacy with our new Youth Certificate Program! Each Tier will receive an age appropriate Passport. The Passport has some fun and financial activities for young members to complete. As activities are completed, our Tellers will stamp the young member’s Passport and give them a prize!
