FOR every $1 that participants save, we contribute $5 toward their post-secondary education or job training.
The +Accounts program serves youth in Douglas, Josephine and Jackson Counties. Students can save up to $2,000, and Project Youth+ will match up to $10,000. To help participants achieve their savings goal, we also provide financial training and support.
You may be eligible if you are:
At least twelve years old
An Oregon resident
Meet the income and asset limits
Willing and able to save for a period of six to 36 months
On track for post-secondary education or training
Priority is given to students currently enrolled in other Project Youth+ programs.
