Opportunity Passport

A financial education and matched savings program

that helps youth make a successful transition to adulthood.

Opportunity Passport® has been designed by the national Jim Casey Youth Oppo​rtunities Initiative, specifically for young people ages 14 to 26 who have been in foster care. The program provides an on-ramp to mainstream banking and $1 for $1 matching funds to participants when they use their savings toward approved assets such as housing costs, expenses for college or trade school, or to acquire transportation.
