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

April is here and credit unions around the nation are celebrating Financial Literacy Month and Youth Month! In honor of this, we’re focused on helping parents and caregivers have meaningful money conversations with kids while encouraging them to build a lifelong skill – saving.

Kids 17 and under can join us this month as we reward money-smart kids with cash prizes, giveaways, and fun-filled activities!

Let’s Surf Into Savings!

This April, in celebration of Youth Month 2026, we invite youth members 17 and under to catch the savings wave to earn gnarly prizes.

Deposit Drawing

For each deposit of $5 or more into your account, you’ll receive an entry to win a $100 deposit into your Membership Savings Account! At the end of April, 20 lucky participants will be selected at random. Read the official drawing rules here.

Youth Month Is Fin-tastic

When you open a Membership Savings Account, make an in-person deposit, or open a StartUP Share Certificate* you’ll receive your choice of a Surf Into Savings t-shirt, surfboard pen, magic sand, or fidget sensory worm.

Plus, you can download our free coloring page and activity sheet for an endless wave of fun at home!
