Youth Programs

Youth Month

We believe helping youth build healthy money habits is important. With special incentives for them and resources for you, together we can guide youth in developing key money-management skills.

Financial Capability

Though we pride ourselves in promoting financial capability year round, April is especially celebrated by credit unions for two important reasons: Youth Month and Financial Literacy Month.

In honor of this, we focus on helping parents and caregivers have meaningful money conversation with kids while encouraging them to build a lifelong skill, saving. With cash prizes, giveaways, and fun-filled activities, youth ages 18 and under have an action-packed month.
