Mississippi Young Bankers has a great group of involved bankers who are committed to educating Mississippi's children about banking, finances and other money-related topics. These programs are coordinated by the MYB Executive Council throughout the state and supervised locally by our network of County Chairmen.

The ABA Education Foundation awarded MYB its highest national award - the PEP Award of Excellence - in 2004, 2005 and 2006. MYB's financial literacy efforts are well-known nationally.
