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

During the month of April, credit unions around the nation celebrate Financial Literacy Month and Youth Month. Though we pride ourselves in promoting financial capability year-round, this highlighted month brings focus to 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 17 and under have an action-packed month.

Check back early next year for Youth Month 2027 details!
