Ongoing -  Join the Avengers and a special guest in this exciting educational comic about saving money and saving the day. The Indiana Secretary of State's office presents "Avengers Saving the Day." This FREE educational program was developed by Marvel Comics and Visa's Practical Money Skills. Using a special edition comic book that features the Avengers superheroes, children learn about financial concepts such as banking, budgeting, saving, investing, and credit. All children who attend receive a free, take-home copy of the comic book and an Avengers-themed budget worksheet. We encourage schools, out-of-school programs, libraries, and comic shops to invite us to your location. We'll bring the comic books and the financial knowledge, and you bring the kids! If you are interested in hosting "Avengers Saving the Day," please email Kelly Griese at kgriese@sos.in.gov.
