Kansas Bankers Inspire Students During 4th Annual JAG-K Partnership The Kansas Bankers Association recently wrapped up the 4th Annual Financial Literacy Month partnership with Jobs for America’s Graduates-Kansas (JAG-K). This year, 24 bankers generously volunteered their time to visit JAG-K classrooms across the state, sharing valuable insights about careers in banking and helping promote financial literacy among students. Their visits gave students a first-hand look at the many opportunities within the banking industry and emphasized the importance of financial knowledge for their futures. Over the past four years, the KBA has been proud to play a pivotal role in connecting Kansas bankers with JAG-K students and fostering meaningful relationships that help inspire the next generation of leaders. Thanks to the dedication of our bankers, we continue to strengthen our commitment to education, career development and community engagement across Kansas. We extend our sincere thanks to all of those who participated this year in lending a hand to help make a lasting difference in the lives of Kansas students!
