Harbor Beach Children’s Savings Accounts
Help our students dream big with Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs)
Strong goals build prosperous communities.
HBCS Storrs Family CSA Program is a children’s savings program brought to you by the Huron County Community Foundation, Frankenmuth Credit Union, Harbor Beach Community Schools, and funded by the Storrs Family Fund.
The CSA program provides kindergartners and first time HBCS students with Children’sSavings Accounts (CSAs), which are long-term savings accounts that will grow along with them. These accounts will help students to save money for career or college expenses after high school graduation. The CSA program also provides financial education to students, beginning with each year’s kindergartners.

Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about the Harbor Beach CSA Program.
The CSA program has sparked conversations about the future in both my classroom and my home. It's truly inspiring to hear our young Pirates talking about the different college and training programs that they might use their money towards. The program is opening students' minds to the endless possibilities that they have as they grow in their knowledge, skills and educational journey.

"I believe this is going to be good for all current and future students. This may be the only help some students may have for future educational needs. As a mother of four, this will help my own with their own needs."
