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 Opportunities 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.

To become an Opportunity Passport participant you must first sign up for a Financial Capability Training. To sign up for a training please contact Robert Bibens at rgbibens@dmacc.edu
