Community Financial engaging youth in financial education
PLYMOUTH, Mich. – Community Financial Credit Union celebrated
“Credit Union Youth Week,” in efforts to expand its youth education program.
Community
Financial and the Youth Education team provide educational activities and
celebrations to provide area youth an opportunity to experience lifelong financial
skills at a young age.
“Celebrations
like ‘Credit Union Youth Week’ engage the youth in our communities. You can
really see them become enthusiastic about opportunities at a credit union,” said
Senior Education Partnership Coordinator Natalie McLaughlin. “They get hands-on
experience and learn practical skills for when they are on their own in the
future.”
During the week of April 21, 2014, Community Financial offered coloring sheets, prizes, and double punches for the student
and youth members making deposits during the week.
“Credit Union Youth Week” is a national campaign prompted
by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).
CUNA coined 2014’s “National Credit Union Youth Week” as
“Catch the $ave Wave!” Credit
unions across the United States participated in activities for youth from April
21 to 26.
