Homeland Community Bank started their youth advisory board seven years ago to introduce students in the seventh and eighth grades to banking, Personal Finance and what is expected of a board member. Their main goal is to introduce banking to the students and encourage them to consider it as a possible career for the future. 

To be selected as a member you must be a seventh grader and write an essay with the title “What Banking Means to me” and turn it into you Language Arts Teacher. The top 4 or 5 papers from each team will be given to the bank committee to choose the finalists. These students will participate in an interview to choose the winner.

         The board will meet after school 4 times during the school year. Students from all county schools will be given the opportunity to be a member. The students will learn about banking and what is expected of a board member. These students must have support from their parents’ as they must be brought and picked up from Homeland Community Bank for each meeting. Each member will serve two years on the board graduating off after finishing their eighth grade year of school.
