Walsh: Saving For Your Child’s Future Can Be Overwhelming, But Boston Is Here to Help

Our goal was to build strong career pathways by helping families of BPS kindergarteners save money for their children’s college or career training. Throughout those three years, our efforts worked. We provided children’s savings accounts to 1,600 students from eleven BPS schools for a total of $80,000.
