Junior Achievement

October 3, 2020 | Written By Lexicon Bank

Since its foundation in 1996, Junior Achievement of Southern Nevada (“JASN”) has impacted more than 450,000 students, spanning across grades K-12, with practical hands-on financial literacy curriculum. These programs have been delivered by more than 285 area businesses and over 6,800 business role models. A core part of the financial literacy curriculum is developing and teaching financial acumen along with workforce readiness. Lexicon Bank is proud to support JASN through ongoing volunteerism, program curriculum collaboration and support of their Inspiring Tomorrows Campaign, led by our very own Stacy Watkins, Lexicon Bank President.

Lexicon Bank recently helped launch a new virtual financial literacy program for students and their families in September 2020, to bring its Truth About Being A Grown Up series to the Las Vegas community. Guided by Chief Financial Officer Tom Michelena, the free, virtual program offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Lexicon Bank and explains the basic principles and benefits of banking. Check it out below.
